Clutch Opinions

I'm currently running a Fidanza 4.3 clutch. It's a sprung 6-puck that claims to be able to hold somewhere around 650ish tq. It's holding my power real well, like on a 4th gear pull. No slippage.

But today was when I really started launching with this clutch, and it did not perform anywhere near what I would have hoped. Just the slightest slipping of it on a launch, and it slips through all gears for the entire run. It can hold tons of power, but if it can't take a launch then it's not much good to me.

So here I am now, looking for a new clutch, and open to hear what anyone has to say.

I'm looking at 4 or 6 puck ACT 2600's, 2900's, Competition stage 5, Clutch Master stage 5.

Keep in mind, that I do NOT want to go with a twin disk, so don't go there.

I'm thinking about going with a non-sprung hub. It may be a little bit rougher on the street, but I think the lack of a sprung hub may help avoid slipping it off the line, which should hopefully reduce the chances of me running into the issue I am.

What clutch was Shane running when he ran his 10?
