The not holding rated capacity is really going to be about use. Nothing will hold up to a ton of drag race launches or stop light to stop light launches either. Not sure how it was used, but I would not hesitate to put this in our car with SC kit.

im running the hd-ss kit as pictured above. this should be way more than enough... they also have 4 puck + 6 puck (sprung and unsprung) and cintered iron options as well. trust me... this kit is more than sufficient with our motor even supercharged.

if you need more than that, use a sprung 6 puck thats what i run on my 240 which is putting down way over 300ftlb of torque to the wheels.

im running the same kit except with prolite FW.

like stay says. if you need even more torque. get the 4 puck solid hub version. the NVM will probably be very noticeable though.

+1 This problem is over and done with. Watch out for some of the 6 spring clutches out there like Comp Clutch, they shoot springs out occasionally. I haven't had a customer with an ACT clutch do that in a LONG time.

If you guys want more holding power there will be a 6 puck sprung disc that will be available. They are a bit trickier to drive than the full face disc's, but still very streetable.

As far as lightweight flywheels go, sometimes too light is a bad thing, like poor drivability and also cause issues like "random misfire" check engine lights etc. Although that is a car dependent thing, so it might be great on these cars.
