Also, the FX500 will handle pretty much anything your setup will throw at it. Just use 85W140 dino oil and dont go around banging gears like F&TF and everything in your drivetrain will hold up just fine.

SR trannies are notorious for popping springs out of those "sprung" hubs. Also, supposedly ACT has been having quality control issues.


FX500 is what im getting. I've had my eyes on the fx400 but if the fx500 has a soft pedal feel thats even better.
I say I wont have a problem driving the car as it has a 6 puck unsprung in it now. just wasnt strong enough for my power.

thanks for the input

I do not daily my car but could if I wanted to. As mentioned the engagement point point is a little tricky on take off. I stalled the first time I drove the car but had it down after a few stop signs.

thats why I have the fx500. I drove a friends car before I got mine and the pedal feel along with the power capacity sold me on it. It makes no noise and you can only tell its unsprung when your starting from a stop.
