ACT clutch pressure vs South bend stg 3 vs Exedy
 
Looking for opinions of clutch pedal pressure and other observations of the South Bend stage 3 particularly in comparison to exedy stg 1 and ACT with the "xtreme" pressure plate (SB017x on SB8-XTSS kit). I have used the exedy and it's fine for daily (except terrible noise) but the ACT pressure plate is an bear to press.

running screw supercharger and E85 for some track use for reference. 400ish max crank Hp.

If you are willing to spend the money, I would recommend looking in OS Giken as a option. They have very good pedal feel and resistance then other clutch manufactures. When you see the price remember that it is a whole replacement kit that includes upgraded clutch fork, braided clutch line, and a much beefier throwout bearing.

Also if you do get one don't be surprised if it takes awhile to loosen up, it was a bear when I first drove mine but got softer and easier to drive after a few hundred miles.

After looking at OS Giken options it seems like a good way to go. That larger throw out bearing by itself is probably worth it.

Which one would your recommend? They have 3 different pressure plates in the range with single or dual discs.

I would talk to Counter Space garage, they have their own spec of OSG clutches or they can order you one that will suit your specific application.
