More ACT + Spec stuff
Alright, I've searched and I've read about 10 threads but I'm still a bit confused.
I've got a 90. building a t25 DIY...yada yada...looking for ~180 hp, maybe more later on ~9 psi to start out with:
I've heard the ACT stage 1 - HD PP and Street disc will start to slip after a while since it is only rated to 200 ft-lbs. So what about an ACT XT PP and Street disc? I found a kit from a local shop for $336.21 + tax is that reasonable? Rated up to 277 ft-lbs, but street disc so shouldn't be that much of a pain in the *** to drive right?

Or, like samnavy's did, go with the Spec Stage two, rated up to 239 ft-lbs for $290 + shipping I think

Or...lol, go with a ACT stage 1 1.8 clutch and pick up my friends fidanza 1.8 flywheel for cheap?
Decisions...decisions. The Car is a DD so the XT PP kinda scares me. But on my friends GSX, it wasn't THAT bad.

the HD kit feels like stock. no increased effort and holds perfectly fine. I've been running mine hard at 170rwhp without a hitch. Bumped it up to 12psi and just found the limits, close to 220rwhp.
the XD kit will have increased pedal effort due to the heavier PP. But it should hold just as advertised. If you aren't a ***** you should be able to handle it.

I love that guy!
I just rolled over 100miles on my Spec Stage II, so not yet broken in. I'll say it again... IT FEELS EXACTLY LIKE STOCK. The flywheel thing is another question alltogether.
The only thing in question for me is the reputation for Spec's. They seem to have more problems than ACT's... but that may simply be from people not following the break-in procedure right. I've disconnected my wastegate to prevent me from running it too hard too quick.
But for now, I couldn't be happier with it.

I talked to the guy at the local shop...I'm thinking I might go with the XT PP and Street Disc...its $331 and should be plenty...since its the street disc, it should be fine, just a little stiff b/c of the XT PP from what I've heard.
