Clutch for 2.3+30R?
Ok guys, I am in the process of rebuilding my motor and am stuck as to what clutch to go with. I have an ACT HDSS right now, and it's starting to wear thin, my car is making 385/330 right now and I am planning on making about 420/380 or so in the future and want to know which clutch to run? The added tq is my main concern, a 30R and a 2.3 should be a pretty stout combination, so which clutch should I go with? Are there any singles that will hold this power for a decent amount of time or am I locked into buying a twin at this power level? The car isn't going to be put through any drag duty, but just a lot of street driving and some roadcourse action, so take that into consideration.

This is not the dilemma i want to have haha. My car is going to see mostly street and road course use, so I'm not really that concerned with it being able to take launches, I just want something that will hold, and last a decently long time....
If anybody that is actually running a car with a 2.3 and a non stock turbo please let me know what your running and how you like/dislike it.

I have the ACT XTSS w/ a 2.3 + 35R. Its only pushing about 24 psi, but the clutch is holding up great. It feels like the HDSS, no chatter, smooth engagement, etc. I really like it.
However, I don't know how well it will hold up to high boost. I will find out soon enough though. I hope it does cause it feels great on the street. If not, i'm going with the Exedy trip carbon but i'm not looking forward to spending that kind of money.

Yeah same as me, 3k for a clutch isnt exactly nice on the pocket. How much power have you been making at that level, and how many miles have you put on it? Have you tried it at all at high boost, and how many times have you launched with it thus far?

Its farily new. Only about 2000 mi on it. 4 or 5 launches and many 2nd - 5th pulls. No slipping, no burnt clutch smell, except a little on launch which is expected. No, I haven't tried it with any more then 24-25 psi.

Roger. Thanks for the info twinscrewed, its nice when evom really pays of and allows you to actually talk to people who have similar setups, appreciate your words. Im still stuck between an XTSS and a Fidenza flywheel or an Exedy twin....
