See, what worries me is I was told the same thing for a 2xpp. It kind of makes me feel like he's pulling this 300wtq number out of his ***.

Based on my discussion with him for 300ft/lbs he'll recommend either the 3x plate with organic disc or 2x plate with a six-puck.

well I was told 2xpp with an organic would hold 300. I guess we'll see who starts slipping when...

Currently running 6psi on the stock clutch, slipping the hell out of it.

Plans, however, are 250 or so whp. However, I previously went through the "I plan to make XX hp" only to make the hp, and then need more.

As far as the driving, I can't really put any power to the wheels without losing the clutch. I'de like to drive moderatly aggressive and get some stickage. Not too interested in full on clutch drops, or extreme drifting or anything like that. But I would like to be able to be able to powershift, and keep the clutch on a full boost shift.
I <3 the lightweight as compared to the boat I used to drive, so 250 should be a decent max, and if I dont quite make it, I'de like a clutch to not worry about.

then you'd probably be fine with a 2X and street disc. I enjoyed my ACT HD, held my 180rwtq. Which should be the equivalent. Others here have held more than 200rwtq on the same ACT kit.
