Hey Xtreme, got a quick question about the MB7-HDSS ACT clutch. On the ACT site, it states that the torque capacity is 508. Is that 508 the max capacity at the wheels or crank?



Mike, that would be 508 at the crank...

i wouldnt even worry about that anyway.  508Tq at the wheels means like 650HP or more unless your on a stroker.

I spent Thousands on an Exedy triple disk carbon....that lasted about 900 miles. I called and e-mailed Exedy and got no response and no help from them at all. I was just looking for an answer to the problem but I never even got a reply. Plus it rattled like crazy. I went to the Act 6 puck race set up with the ACT flywheel. I'm running 624whp and 512wtq ( hopefully more when I get the car back ) and haven't had any clutch related problems yet. The nice purple Exedy looks great hanging on the wall tho.

2 things here.  the carbon for one doesnt last very long , secondly if it is not broken in properly it will not even make it 1000 miles.  people dont run the carbon much because they dont last long.  asside from the carbon clutches the twins and triples are the BEST clutches for your crank, and drivetrain when makeing alot of power.

2 years ago these things were not known they were in testing stages still you being one of them lol.  But another thing you gotta remember is the more discs the clutch has the shorter the life span will be because the clutches are not that beefy they are very thin in order to fit the extra discs in there

I've heard some really good feed back on the new Fidanza 3.2 EVO 8/9 Clutch Kit line of clutchs. good holding power , can up shift at high rpms with no lock out and down shift hard too. From what i've read it sounds good and not a bad price either. I wanna try it , but also wanna hear more reviews on it before jumping onto a new product .
