you really don't need a puck clutch, not until you are making over 300wtq (which is around 400whp).

Why not figure out your approximate torque at the crank and go to ACT's website and look for the clutch with the easiest to drive disc and buy that one? Or, if you have a long list of mods PLANNED, figure out about how much torque you'll be laying down and buy that one. If your planned torque puts you in the puck araena, do what I did and buy an Exedy twin disc

alright thanks ill look into that i have installed more crap like front mount intercooler and other lightweight stuff so boost is up to 11-12 depending on how cold it is under full boost the dyno said i have around 300hp at the flywheel, totally not true but i dont know (it was right after a tune on 93 ocatane) anyone have a guess as to how much torque? dont feel like finding the paper

just so you know i do drift (semi professionally) and do autocross with some people in mich. but mainly i used my corolla

**** you, douche. Look at the way you worded that, then take into account that you're a complete noob with more stereo upgrades than real ones, and know nothing about clutchs. An ACT extreme with a solid disc for the mods you listed - pffffffffft
