Currently having clutch slippage issues under boost (at a ****ty 6PSI I might add LOL). I see ACT rated their 5S-FE clutch at 270?ft lbs of torque and I'm shooting for a lot more than that so I don't know if it's the right clutch to buy.
Fidanza flywheel with 3sgte/5sfe hybrid clutch is what I need but it's out of my budget right now. Is there anything for the S54 that is remotely good? -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

Southbend can make you a clutch with will hold up. the one they made me worked excellent. i still have it in fact.
im not sure what your setup is but if you want more power, i suggest you call southbend, talk to andy or john, tell them i sent you and what you need. they will build it or tweak it to your needs. for example, im my swap, i just got an OEM clutch replacement for the 1MZ but i had them stiffen up the springs on the pressure plate so it will hold more torque since i still plan on S/C it. ACT clutch is actually right down the street from me, however i will never use their clutches again. ****ty customer service and their clutches kept breaking on me -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo

I was looking at southbend but their 320ftlbs clutch (their stage 2 "drag" clutch) really doesn't look any different than say an ACT 6puck with HD pressure plate.
