Which clutch for 400hp goal ?

This site may earn a commission from merchant affiliate links, including eBay, Amazon, and others.

I have the 2100pp flywheel and street disk. Been on the car for 4 years with no problems. I'm pushing 340whp and my goals are also 400whp. But Haven't had a single slipping issue, appart from the tires spinning (knock on wood).
 
I talked to Tim from TMZ performance who sells the SB Kevlar disc, he said he knows a few people making almost 600whp on a 2100PP and the SB Kevlar disc, def no reason to spend more on the 2600PP when it is not needed. Especially if the car is gonna be a street/strip car. If you want the best advice call Tim from TMZ, he'll hook you up. Here is his number 414.839.8250

Now that was exactly what i was gonna say, i don't have his number though.LOL

This is what i have: TZ/FE-Series Full-Face Kevlar/Feramic Sprung Clutch Disk.

And an ACT 2100 pp.

I know you want to stick to ACT, but here's something to consider. While I haven't used ACT myself, I highly recommend SouthBend Clutch. I purchased the full-face kevlar disk (both sides) and SS pressure plate (~2100 lbs.) from Tim Zimmer at TMZPerformance.com and I couldn't be happier with it. It's been the best clutch I've ever used. I switched over about a year ago from a Fidanza 4.3 in my daily driver and never looked back.

With a slightly softer pedal pressure, it's easier to drive, easier to slip and holds the same or more power than the Fidanza 4.3. One thing I noticed about the SBC is that the Kevlar friction pad is thicker than the Fidanza 4.3. This along with it's full-face design should outlast the Fidanza buy a large margin. I only got 13,000 miles out of the Fidanza and I'm already past that with the SBC and haven't experienced any driveability problems even with a Fidanza lightweight aluminum flywheel, 25 psi boost and 365 AWHP (ecmlink HP estimate).
 
an act 2600 with a sprung disk will drag, end of story, but with the southbend disk they dont seem to. i make 460whp and 380wtq on a spec stag 2+ with no problems. people talk smack about spec but they work great for me. my act2600 with a sprung 4 puck, or street disk both dragged. UPDATE: spec doesnt hold after a launch, gets hot and slips

I am in need of a clutch since I am rebuilding my bottom end.. It is a great time for me to do the clutch as well,

I had my mind set on the ACT2600 w street disc and ACT flywheel, heard its good for 450hp..

I honestly dont think I will ever exceed 450hp(crank)

so, would the 2100ACT Flywheel combo, do it for me?

Its my DD, more or less winter car, and my mods are pretty well, whats in my profile, will upgrade injectors and Intercooler very soon.. thats as far as I will get with Tuning.. Not much more but just the Upgrade path 2 really..

so, what should I do, which should I get..
