What are the best?
I know ACT is proven and that is what everyone uses but does that make it the best? what about South bend?

I believe ACT is made by Exedy.

Ran a Spec on my gst and it worked just peachy! Right now I'm runnin a sprung 6-puck made by a buddy in LA and I'm happy with it so far, but he only rated em at like 350hp so im gunna change it out once I install all my new parts. I was wanting that one that AMS was selling that people were buzzin about, but they don't have it for sale on their site anymore.

I am running an Exedy 1900. Have 7,500 miles on it, no complaints really, maybe a bit weak for back to back launching (as in pull one I don't like, slam on the brakes and do it again)

South Bend has 3 series of clutches. You can also custom order your own pressure plate and disk combination from them. Call them up, tell them what you want and they will make their recommendation to you.

South bend has been the suplier for the Turbo diesels, and they love them.. so if they are made for the 600+tq and 300+ hp .. i'd say you could trust them in the dsm

SPEC will do the same. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I was looking for when I get my DSM at the RPS Carbon-Carbon clutch and flywheel combo, but don't know much about them I saw that been used in a few DSM's with like 600+ hp and I don't know how much tq.

I loved my Centerforce Dual-Friction. The clutch has at least 30k on it and never slipped; even a little bit. The clutch held up perfect to the 20G this spring, too bad the engine didn't. It probably has ~50 drag passes on it and many Opus sessions. They don't seem to hold up real well in AWD's, but I think that is more driver than anything and I am betting if I were AWD instead of FWD it would have held up just as well.
