ACT 2100 or 2600? Street or 4-puck?

b-morr · 09-09-2008, 04:16 PM

I'm looking to get either a act 2100 or 2600, my hp goals are about 350hp. I'm also torn between a street disk or 4-puck sprung disk. Its my DD, with occasional trips to the track, plus I will probably be running the crap out of it on the streets a lot. Also, what is the 4-puck made of? Kevlar?

I would suggest the ACT 2600 with a south bend kevlar sprung disk. It will handle the abuse a heck of alot better than any other street disk, and won't cause the damage like a 4-puck or a 6-puck.

I think the best set up for you would be the 2600 with street disc. We've seen very impressive things from these kits, don't worry about the pucked discs, they aren't worth it if you are going to do the majority of your driving on the street. They will hold up perfectly fine for the track.

I think one of the best things you can tell us is what kind of rpm will the motor be seeing? Depending on how high you plan on reving it will depend on what I would use.

I will vote for the 2600 with the street disc. Its good for daily driving, good pedal feel and also will hold 400 lb/ft of torque which will be more then enough if your goals are 350 hp but strong enough to go further on power and have that peace of mind and confidence that it will hold. I had this setup for a good while and loved it, I was reving it out to 8700 every chance I got soo it holds the revs well too. The only reason I switched (went to a 2900 w/ street disc) is because it was slipping from exceeding its torque rating...Now im good untill 490 torque which should be good.

DroppinBottom: Are you really running 12.9's w/ 429 hp? on AWD? is this current?

Agreed.

We have gone over this topic MANY times before. It would be beneficial for you to use the Search function a little more before posting a thread like this.

Here is one good link to a similar question, with the same answer:

Six puck unsprung- better disengagement, easier on synchros?

Isn't a 4-puck street drivable, I dont see in that link anything about a 4puck.... I also figured it would last longer to being beaten up than a street disk. And it wont get glazed when it over heats. The car will be seeing about 8000 rpms.

I just read into these soutbend clutches.... I may consider one of these next time I do my clutch.

I have an ACT 2100 with a 6 puck sprung hub disc and I love it! It is rated for more torque than an ACT 2600 with a street disc.

Im running a 2600 with a sprung 4 puck ceramic disc. It holds a lot more power than a street disc and wont fall apart at the track. Also I have had no damaging issues from it.

TheBigPhantom · 09-10-2008, 07:47 AM

I've had both a street disc and a 4 puck the 4 puck chatter everyone talks about isnt so bad when it comes down to it and the engagement is ridiculous even when going into first at about 1500 rpm you can feel the clutch just grab onto that flywheel it feels good.

break it in right though or you'll be sorry changing the clutch out again only after 500 miles like me...lol

i always likes the sprung puck discs, street discs never felt like i wanted my clutch to feel espicaly on launches. and the chatter from a sprung disc isnt so bad, but i had a solid hub on my last car, and driving on the street the chatter and noise was terrible. so loud and bad that your average buddy that doesnt mod or race like we do, would think something was wrong with your car.

that set up kinda also answers your question about whats drivable on the street, almost any clutch is, the issue is weather its comfortable and worthwhile to you for how where and when you drive on the street. get stuck in traffic jam with a solid hub once and you will understand what i mean.
if your driving your car in areas with stop and go traffic, like crowded highways of city streets every day or on a on a very regular basis for whatever reason, a puck disc may not be worth it for you. iv seen my best friend burn through 5 pucked discs in 1 year cause of crap like that.

Does a lightened flywheels cause you to cruise at higher rpms?

Do 4-puck disks really destroy clutches? I'm thinking about getting fidanza's 3.2.
