I knew there was something wrong with my clutch setup. Couldn't know for sure without pulling the tranny. Thought TOB died or possibly I had broken the bolts that hold the clutch to the flywheel (way overtorqued them on accident.) Turns out I did kill the TOB but what I didn't expect was the TOB (ACT) took out my brand new ACT 2600. Bent half the fingers and cut a 1/8" grove into them. Ouch! I'm sorta pissed and very broke right now.
The GSX will be running my old setup Big T28 @ 22 psi max. I have to get the car running again. Would an ACT 2100 hold up to my setup? Keep in mind I'm still going to be using ACT unsprung 4 puck & ACT Streetlite flywheel.
 
Well, you should have read around. The ACT TOBs have a tendency to do that. Only use OEM throw out bearings for that reason exactly. I've been hearing a lot of good things about the XTD stage 4 clutch. Its cheap and it has been proven to hold 400whp launches.
 
Yea. I've not read good things about ACT TOB but I'd at least expect it to last more than 100 miles. I only got to drive it 7 days. And I sure didn't expect it to f up my new clutch
Spoke to Map this am. They expect ACT to warranty it.
Props to Map. Called them this am. They were very helpful and even emailed me a copy of my original invoice which I had misplaced.
 
With your Setup of the BigT28, yes, that Clutch would hold up fine.
 
Well... Called ACT. Interesting... They don't want the clutch back. Only pictures of it front and back and the rest of the clutch setup. They said they will be able to tell if it's a warranty issue from the pics. Another thing. ACT doesn't make TOBs. They outsource the TOBs. They refer to it as a complimentary TOB.
