Act 6 puck and Stock PP. Good combo?
i tried to search, but i couldn't find much answers.
right now, i am in the market for a used evo. there is actually a white 04 that i will be bidding on this friday.
anyways, one of the first things i am going to do it replace the clutch, but i am trying to be cost effective, aka, cheap. Since the stock PP has on "ok" clamping force, whats wrong with just using an ACT 6 puck with the stock PP?
I used to have and ACT 2600 with a 6 puck in my galant vr4 and i loved it. i was running 300+hp, but i never really launched it that much. i loved how i could rev up during a roll, and not smell a burning disc. i know engagment of a 6 puck is a bit harsher, but thats what the over revving is for.
i will probably go upto 320hp, or mid 12's. what do you guys think? has anyone used this setup before?
thanx

You should not disassemble the clutch/tranny then put it back together with just a 6-puck disk...that would be a disaster.

you got it backwards...you need to get rid of the stock pressure plate. The stock disc is actually ok. Get the act 2900 and stock disc if you want. I would really just recommend the whole act setup with street disc and it will drive a lot like stock but be able to withstand abuse and power.

for me, nothing but a 6 puck for daily driving. like i said, i had it with a 2600lb AND a lightened flywheel.
i guess ACT's kit for $475 with a 6puck isn't that bad.
