Default Which clutch disc

I realize the street disc will be plenty of clutch but the 4 puck is like $35 cheaper. I pinch pennies lol The car may go turbo in the future but will remain N/A for a while.

those numbers are maximum rated torque outputs not actual/usable.

A 4 puck will be extremely harsh engagement, wear out significantly faster, also it'll probably chatter. You will have to replace three 4-pucks in the time you use up one street disc. For N/A, you definately only need a street disc.

Here is my experience with another clutch manufacturer company that is fairly new:

What stage should I get if I plan to boost and keep my internals stock? I will obviously be using standalone. Say 300-320 wheel. Looks like the stage 2 is right on the verge of being too light but like I said it may be awhile be4 I boost.

The stage 2 is more than enough to hold 300 at the wheels.

So you think I'd be happier with this clutch? I have run an ACT on my celica for about a year and am pretty happy with how its held up. I autocross it almost every weekend. It sees plenty of 5k clutch drops lol. But I'll look into the comp clutch, looks very similar to ACT's street disc. tx for the info. How cheap can you get me one? Its $695 on their website, can you beat that?? pm me if you want
