Not a fan of Black pressure plates, I prefer Red. Red is faster then stock...

I don't know about that. The clutches have distinct differences.





Notice the different rivet count in the disc and slightly different pressure plate design too.

ACT does make a 6 puck too though I believe right? Their 6 pucks from what I have driven even with an unsprung hub are very streetable still. Like you I've run nothing but ACT so my preference is obvious as well :D

Yes ACT does make a 6 spline disc and a 4 spline for the tC.

Pedal feel means it's tighter? Engagement is faster? Sorry but I don't know clutchs yet, just know I need a new one soon.

Correct. Much firmer pedal, meaning more muscle to depress the clutch. It will also start grabbing much sooner when you first take the pedal off the floor.

I've been racing my ACT street clutch for about a year and it's approaching the time where I'm considering a new one.

I have knee problems ...which Im going to have to go to the Dr for. I want to have a 300whp tC within the next few years. What do you think is the best clutch for my hp level? The torque level would be 270max because im s/c'rgd. Even if i had 320whp that should give me 270torque about.
