Default ACT Clutch any good

I was wondering what you guys think an ACT Street clutch and heavy duty pressure plate will hold about 8 psi out of a small t25 or will it suck. The reason why I ask is because I'm getting a whole complete kit for 170. Thanx

The pressure plate is good, however street disks typically dont hold to well under boost. However for $170 its a good deal.
Its up to you, if your building a race car, go with something more agressive.

I had a ACT xterm PP with a 6 puck sprung disk, loved it. Never tried the HD PP tho.

I have an ACT 6 puck unsprung clutch w/ a HD pressure plate from Mike. Clutch Specialties didn't make a pressure plate for my car, otherwise I would have gone with that. The ACT holds up just fine though, no complaints.

I have a street clutch in my car and it sucks. Doesnt hold any better then the stock did. A friend of mine has a six puck in his teg though and he loves it. My .02 cents.
