Based on what I am reading the SPM will have a lighter pedal but more abrupt engagement, and the ACT is heavier but smoother. I don't suppose anybody has direct experience with both?

Less concerned about me, and more concerned about my wife (who will be doing a couple track days this summer in the car) and which one might be a better fit. Built 1.8 with EFR 6258 on pump gas, can't tell you the power because dyno tuning day was supposed to be tomorrow but my ******* "holds 318 ft/lbs!" clutch is slipping at 8.5 psi. Leaning towards SPM because it's significantly less expensive, but concerned about modulation.
How old is the FM lvl 1 clutch?

If not that old, call up FM and complain. Something is not right.

My fm1 clutch holds 17psi on a 6258 perfectly fine, street and track. That's 275lbs/tq at the dyno.
