They'll be on the shelf next week! Right now we started with a twin disc option that is still extremely streetable yet can hold 600hp+. We haven't had the chance to fully test the power limitations yet. Need a car if you guys know of one. ;)
I may know of one in GA lol.

I have an Act clutch I've been using for about 1500 miles and I have zero complaints about the clutch itself. Works great, slips when I need it to, no chatter, holds my TSP stage 1 with no problem.

My issues with the master cylinder are hard to overlook, and I haven't sorted that yet. Waiting for Sirimoto to finish redesigning the N1. If that doesn't work out, it's kzCMC for me.
Damn you still waiting on that? did they give you a timeline?

strongly recommend either ACT or if you can afford it, a used 2008 mitsubishi eclipse factory clutch and full conversion.

ACT is great

Shared in another clutch thread, but I have a CTR retrofit sitting on the bench, and currently awaiting the ACT Street Sprung HC10-HDSS Kit arriving later this month. Will compare the two; ACT gets installed on my Si, @Thusee will take the retrofit, and then we'll drive each other's cars for comparison. Both will have Eman's CMC, PRL SS Clutch line, and Amsoil MTF.

Going into it, it's not for the purpose of saying which option you should rather buy. The retrofit is proven, it's long-lasting, has higher torque capacity, and will be easier to service down the road as you can pick up a clutch disc and pressure plate from your local dealer. However, cost and readily available is what weighs on people's decisions.

ACT Street Kit is rated for 100ftlbs less tq capacity, may not be as long lasting, will require ACT parts to service, and no one has racked up crazy miles on one yet to make it clear that it's a winner as well. However, the brand has done good for other platforms and so far the only other option that's seemed to have nearly all positive first impressions, and 5-10k miles of feedback from individual being happy with their purchase at about 2/3 or 3/4 the cost of the retrofit, depending on how you configure it.

You guys know I keep it clear, concise, and objective so look forward to the comparison :)

If eman don't produce his CMC will go for the new version of sirimoto to.
