clutch/flywheel info needed

[mikeski]

im thinking of buying a used ACT 6 puck clutch and fidanza flywheel. i dont have a turbo but have other mods ie: ms cams, underdrive pulley,cai, catback, and im getting headers. i do have 140k miles on the car and the clutch will need to be replace sooner or later, i just want to know how this setup is. i hear mixed reactions about the flywheel, is it even worth it to upgrade w/o turbo? does anyone else have this setup? id also like to know how much install would be or how difficult it would be to do it myself. i dont know much about clutches so all info would be appreciated!

anyone??

a 4 or 6 puck ACT clutch for those mods, heck even for a moderate turbo build, is overkill on this car and will be very harsh on the street. there is no reason to even consider a clutch like this for anything other than truly extreme power

thanks for the imput......i just wanted to see if there would be much of a preformance gain

a clutch will not offer any performance "gains" per se, but allow you to hold more power and grip harder. a flywheel will allow your engine to rev faster and therby accelerate quicker but will not increase your horsepower.
