I have searched and have'nt found a good reference for a good clutch in the 400 to 450 hp range. I don't have HUGE budget, but I can spend around 200 to 300 bucks. Maybe act, southbend? Hell maybe even XTD. Let me know what you guys think!

Jacks Transmissions LLC — DSM Clutch Selection

Me personally like ACT.

Most people choose to go the ACT 2600 range with a street disc. Southbend DXD is another good choice w/ and ACT street disc. I would see which of those 2 fit your budget and go that route.

Give southbend a call, they make all their disks in house and can tailor for your needs. Really good company, I had some things come up and they were really good about helping me out.

Exedy or Competition

Wow, great info coming in. So going by the Jacks list a 2600 with a street disk would hold. Southbend seems like a great place as well. Im not sure how Southbend names their clutchs (2600 2100) etc. I don't care if the pedal is stiff, I just want something that will hook and not slip. I also have the basic ACT chrome moly flywheel that I will run.

Clutchmaster FX400?

I have the 6 puck disc, with a Fidanza flywheel. Way lighter than my FX300 full disc with no friction surface left

As I recall, southbends pressure plates are all 2100lb and they change clutch disk material to change holding force. I have an act2600 PP paried with a southbend disk (segmented ceramic disk) because my ACT disk got ended. Give them a call to see what they can work out for you.

ACT 2600, you'll be fine with that and people have been running them for years with no issues.

I bought a used act 2600 and put a new disk in it. It held till about 300 hp and then started slipping. Only under full boost and load - 4th gear. It was used so that may have been the problem, but there are a number of threads on tuners about problems with ACT. I replaced mine with SPEC stage 3+. So far it is working great.

Yea it seems between Southbend and Act 2600, Im not sure if the street disk can hold up.

Any thoughts on what a good Southbend disk would be?

I would recommend the South Bend Clutch SS-Series Pressure plate (heavy-duty pressure plate ~2100#), and the South Bend Clutch TZ-Series sprung, full-face Kevlar clutch disk.

They are excellent quality and can easily hold the power levels you are intending.

If you do a search for SBC clutches on this site, you will see that I have backed their products for years, and have had excellent luck with their products.

Thats one for Southbend for sure!!!

I have a southbend in my car and I love it, havent had a problem and they are easy to work with. Call southbend and ask for Andy, he can point you in the right direction and they stand behind their products

I usually deal with Jon or Andy, both great guys and they expedite my orders usually the same day and it takes around 2-3 days for them to ship directly to the customer.

Great service for sure!

Thanks, I called Southebend and they want 500 bucks for a clutch they said suits my setup.

Did you buy it, if so what model is it

Have you looked at the Spec clutches?? I'm not knocking Southbend at all just asking.

No I did'nt pick it up, still on the hunt. I have'nt looked at spec.

I was looking at getting the Spec stage 3 clutch kit for a car im thinking about buying. $320 from MAP.

I will look in to it, I heave heard bad things about spec. I am thinking Act 2600 with 6 punk sprung.

Well Im picking up a 2600pp soon. Just need a good disk.

The SBC Kevlar full-face sprung disk works great with the ACT 2600 pressure plate.

I responded to your PM as well.

Well hook me up! :0
