I had an ACT in my car (ran about 330hp) but the Sprung version, that was a Good clutch but i have heard they don\'t like much more power than that.

You may want to look at a Sprung Clutch for the Road, they tend to be quite On or Off and it makes low speed Trafic etc Driving hard work (tend to slip the Clutch alot and it does it no good)

All depends on what you want it for?

I have that pressure plate with a racing beat clutch plate. Its very agressive and takes a long time to get used to but mine never slips. I launched it at 5K once and it held perfectly (tyres didnt hold so well, lol). that was with 380HP going through the wheels. Everyone else other than me though stalls the car, even after a 30sec lecture by me at how dificult they are to use!

So be careful, they will hold all the power/torque you will want, but will make driving the car a pain for the first few months. I wouldnt reccomend unless your going single with big power.
