ACT Extreme with Street = Clutchmasters Stage ?

[gsr355]

The ACT Extreme pressure plate and street disc combo is suppose to hold around 319 ft/lbs of torque, what stage is this equivalent to on the Clutchmasters clutch? Stage III or IV? Also, with clutch that grabs as hard as these, what kind of damage will i be doing to my flywheel and tranny? I don't really drag race, only once in a long while, but i do road race...I have a turbocharged GSR, which combo should i go with if i get the ACT? The Heavy duty pressure plate or the extreme pressure plate?

I've driven a FMAX turbo prelude with a HD pressure place and the pedal effort was pretty stiff compared to stock. I think the equivalent for Clutchmasters would be a stage 4. Their stage 3 is suppose to be more forced induction only. Stage 4 is forced induction and nos, at least this is what they advertise. I'm going to get a stage III this summer because the pedal effort is really close to stock, I remember Silvino saying its even softer than stock. Also, TOO has stated that he's yet to burn one out, so I think it'd be a good investment. I think the clutchmasters is a bit cheaper than the ACT also though, so that's a plus.

Interesting, I hammered the living f' outta my clutch masters Stage III and it kept fine. Of course I installed mine so I know it went in and was broken in right. I had 8 PSI and 221 Corrected WHP going through that clutch. It was soft but grabbed real well when I demanded it to. I totally recommend it.

CODE: I was so close to having the car but the bank started some bullshit with me and now I might not get the loan. If the loan works, I've got a sick car that does low 11's but until then, I'm still crossing my fingers.

I did burn my Clutchmasters III clutch out at 1200 miles. I'm still driving on it but 1st gear slips.
