So do you guys think the organic would be a good choice? I am going to build this thing, internally, so I can daily it with 350whp+ and not be afraid of a rod deciding it doesn’t want to be in there anymore. I’ve dailied an unsprung fx400 6 puck which was not the greatest but wasn’t the worst either.

If you are planning to build it, go with the 6 puck

ACT also told me they under rate there clutches a little and is expected to last as long as oem or longer
I read that, like by 20% or something. I just don’t want to drop the front end more then 1 time lol. I don’t my overbuilding if it won’t break anything. If the 6 puck will last a good bit too and not break anything I don’t care about comfort or if the clutch pedal is stiffer. I only put 3,200 miles on my car in 15 months.

i wouldn't worry about beefing up the stock clutch because your making more power,

your tranny will explode before your clutch gives out
lol what?? Can't tell if you are joking or not

if your engine is producing extra power to the point where the stock clutch can not handle that extra power, that means the stock tranny can't handle that extra power either,

so beefing up a clutch without beefing up the tranny is pointless
No, it does not mean the stock transmission cannot handle the extra power, the strength of the transmission is not determined on how strong the clutch was made.

To some extent that’s true but I’m not to worried about it. These clutches are known for being weak. I think maperformance had tranny issues but they’re 500whp+ so yea, the trans will be fine.

Mark11 really should be banned at this point. It's clearly a troll or someone who just genuinely has the IQ of an antlion and shouldn't be on the world wide web.

I got the FX350 and its a charm for daily driving. Im running TSP Stage 1.

The breakin period is kind of annoying but when its done, jesus that thing is solid and will never let you down.

Its rated for 390lbs of torque, im pretty sure you'll be fine.
