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

back when i had the 5sfte, i ran the ACT setup for a long time, and it held 300+ftlbs, never slipped, but i ended up popping a spring on the disk.
i definetly wouldnt wanna go any heavier than the street setup as far as the ACT, the pedal feel was pretty heavy with that one, somthing stiffer would be horrrrrrible for anything but a weekend/track car. the problem with the 5s setups, is that in order to get enough holding power for the turbo, especially if your planning for more than 300ftlbs at the wheels, the pressure plate is gonna end up being really stiff. even with the hybrid setups, the extra tq that the 5s creates made me get more clutch than i really wanted to for a dd setup. that said, everyone seems to have good luck with the southbend setups, i would at least give them a call, from what i've seen, like jeff said, they have really good customer service, which is big, IMO. i've had good luck with clutchmasters as well so far, in cars that i've installed them in, so maybe give them a call as well. i dont have one in my car presently only because my comp clutch is still holding, but pedal feel with the comp clutch is HORRIBLE. especially compared to a similar clutchmasters setup. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

Competition Clutch is great but I've tried it on a Genesis and it's pretty stiff, I don't really mind a stiff pedal however since this is more a "drive when I feel like it" car than a DD. My girl's car is the real daily. Let's see what southbend tells me. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
