I think you will be suprised how much power and abuse the ACT street setup will take. It doesn't sound like you are producing enough power to need the 6 puck. With the puck you are going to give up some drivability which is not necessary if you aren't making the high power that the 6 puck race clutch will support.

so u think that the street clutch would do fine with let's say a 50 trim turbo? And do recomend maybe another brand other then act? Sry for all the question a but do I need new slave cylinder and throw out bearing or no?

How the hell do you blow an intermediate shaft 3 times?

I'm running the SBC Stage 5 6puck in my car w/ a 50 trim setup. Puck clutches take a little getting used to but they're not bad.

I really liked my SBC Stage 4 full-face clutch, but I over heated it and damaged it a few months ago.

I don't know how much torque would result from a "50 trim turbo" but if it is less than 420 ftlbs at the wheels the street setup is a safe bet. Another brand? Didn't you see my signature? I would say that it is cheap insurance to go ahead and buy a new slave cylinder. I would also strongly consider buying a new clutch arm and pivot ball as they are known to wear out prematurely. The TO bearing comes with the clutch kit.

Dirk (ACTman) is right.

50 trims can go a tad above that though.
