I have a ACT 2600 w/ street disk.

I did a back to back race with some guy, 1st race no prob. 2nd race the clutch slipped like crazy (bouncing off the rev limiter), burnt clutch just stunk up the car. I thought it was completely done. Well, after it cooled down, I did a few highway pulls and it's fine. So my issue was the disk couldn't handle the heat/it faded.

Should I just trying using an ACT sprung ceramic 6 puck?

Or should I say "eff it" and get a MAP/QM twin disk?

I want something that can handle more heat, more power, better fade resistance. I also don't want to upgrade if/when I get to the 400+ ft-lb range. (I'm only at 402awhp/335ftlbs)

Thanks for your opinions.

You could look into a Competition stage 4. They are rated to right around 420 lbft. I just picked one up and will probably be installing it in a couple weeks. I've heard good things about their engagement and drivability.

Exactly the clutch I was going to recommend!

I have ran the 2600 with the sprung 6 puck and that seemed to work great for me. I now have the 2900 with the sprung 6 puck.

I'm pretty sure Mara runs a 6-puck sprung ACT in her 132+mph 1G AWD.

That car put down 560HP @ MAP, 480HP @ DB.
