Think this will hold roughly 320bhp? I just don't see a 1900lb pressure plate working well for that. I mean, a ACT 2100 doesn't hold well on multiple launches. Is that copper-ceramic disk talk valid or marketing crap? Thanks.....

the copper ceramic disc is a race disc, if you click the other picture to enlarge it u see a full face street disc next to the same pressure plate, despite what the "all sales are final" guy selling that thing says i dont think u want to drive around every day on a race disc, its really not very enjoyable, and i doubt the street disc can perform as well as that says
and its says its a stage 1 kit that can handle 350hp(that means at the crank), so basicaly if u have an upgraded turbo its not going to hold the power, with your 18g id think u were getting pretty close to 350hp at the crank
clutchmasters sells a similar stage 1 kit with around the same lb pressure plate, it is a decent difference over a stock clutch, but its not anything like a 2100 or 2600 is, it feels more like a stock clutch then it feels like a 2600, doesnt launch like a 2600 either, launches almost like a stock clutch, and im sure with your fwd u would want a faster launch

iv recomended a stage 1 kit to several people, all of them with nearly stock non-turbo cars, i have a 2600 on my car and love it, its not that bad to drive every day, my friend has a clutchmasters 2500 on his fwd 2g, drives it every day and loves it, we both have street discs
if ur somewhat serious about racing your car like i am i would get a 2600lb, id hate to think how my car would feel if i had the turbo and internals u have and didnt have the clutch i have, i wouldnt want a 2100 or a 1900 now, much less if i had the work done u have

Thanks alot for your insightful input. I had a 2600 in the car at one point and it was really too much. Pedal was a pain in the ass for California traffic and most of my racing is hwy speeds as is. Maybe the ACT 2100 or CFDF 2500 would be better options? I am trying to keep cost down.
