Which clutch would you choose?

[nhum]

I'm looking for a decent, street able clutch that would hold around 500 ft-lbs of torque. Currently I have a 6 puck clutch with Fidanza flywheel. The pair works well for my applications but I can't take that CHATTERING any more. You'd have to rev the car to 1500 for a first gear take off to ease the chattering otherwise it would sound like your trans is about to fall off. Anyway, I have been doing some research and I wanted to ask your opinions.

Option 1: ACT XTSS with street disc paired with Fidanza or stock flywheel.
Option 2: SPEC Stage 3+ paired with Fidanza or stock flywheel.
Option 3: SPEC Stage 2+ paired with Fidanza or stock flywheel.
Anyone here use any of those combos? If so, is there any chattering?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion or recommendation.

I swapped my 11.5lb flywheel for stock and the chattering stopped. For that power range I'd look at stage 4.

Chattering is normal unless it's revved. I know you don't like it, but you have to pay to play...

Either that or go multi-plate, but even those can chatter...

get an OS Giken twin disk clutch.

Thank you everyone for your input.

500 ft-lbs of torque limit your options to a stage3+ if not stage 4 or multi-plate. A stage 2+ isn't going to last. You'll put your foot down and then... What's that smell?

I'm going through the SAME thing haha. just googled this thread actually..

my question is:

I'm shooting for 400 WHEEL horse, meaning the flywheel output should be somewhere around 500 correct? So I need a 500+ hp capable clutch in order to hold, let alone hold reliably, 400 WHEEL ponies?
