My own experience has shown me that the flywheel has the biggest impact over the sound, not the clutch. As such, the best ones have been (in no particular order)

1. ACT - either the prolight or streelight - despite their low weight, very quiet overall

2. Unorthodox

3. NISMO

At this point, we've seen every possible combo on there on customer cars, and the above flywheels have repeatedly proven themselves to be the quietest overall.

Hey guys... I have the JWT Combo for 3 years now and 450+ WHP... the combo is flawless, A+. the thing is that I'm gonna forged my engine soon and I want to put around 550 whp, Do you guys think that my Combo will hold for a street use, No track or any drag racing with slicks, just daily driving 550 whp car

I know that I have to change at least the disc and the pressure plate, but do you guys think that the JWT, ACT, RPS or FX400 do the same job for a 550 whp daily driver use? what is the difference between them?

Curious about that answer, but I think I know what is coming. I've asked a number of dealers what they think would be good for 550rwhp and they pretty much have all pointed to multi-disc options. Not one has said to stick to the single disc clutch. That means at least $1800 and up. I am in a similar predicament. Still trying to decide which clutch to go with.

I know that when you have 550+ whp and you want a clucth that stick on the track with some ET Street or Slicks you have to put a doble or triple disc for sure (believe me I know, a lot of 600+ VQ35 here) but for a daily driver 550 whp I know you don't need a doble or triple clutch... for example my friend have the ACT with 630 whp for some time and on the street, dyno. ect. the car was perfect... a couple of weeks ago he intall a Triple disc because he wants to go to the track soon and maybe go 700+ whp... my question is wich one is better for 550 hp street use; JWT, RPS, FX400 or ACT?
