wanting to know how long can one drive a car with this set up with unsprung disc before it would create a problem for motor and internals?

Mostly a track car but do want to drive it here and there for the occasional street pull.

Don't want to hurt bearings etc etc, so not sure if its not a good idea period or something that will take 150 passes to start seeing some type of damage.

Thank you guys/girls??>... you never know nowadays..

Overkill Dio. I'd probably try a Southbend SSX pressure plate over an ACT2900/3200 anyday.

If it were me the most I'd go is 2600pp/6 puck sprung which should hold everything you throw at it. That is if you really want to go the ACT route.

Personally I am using the Southbend SS 2300lb PP with their 6 puck ceramic sprung disk. This has held everything I have thrown at it so far, over 600 WHP and 550 ft/lbs of torque. I am all about using the least amount of clutch as possible now. My car is soo much more fun to drive with an OEM like clutch feel and all the boost I can throw at it. My driving style is pretty easy now too, and I have yet to blow a MC or slave since I went to a lighter PP. I don't launch the car unless it is at the track and on the street only do roll ons. I am pretty happy with a lighter PP now.

Also I'd consider a twin/triple disk over an ACT3200 anyday.

+1 on either a Southbend setup or a twin disk.

Every week I see a post where someones ACT PP has fallen apart, quite often destroying something else, like the bell housing.

I sincerely appreciate your thoughts. I wish I had asked when getting all this from retailer.
Now its all installed and just as I was about to go out and start doing some pulls, stumbled across some posts and read all about this. Now you double whammy confirmed with you guys.
So now what does one do???

The thought of pulling the car all apart is a bummer.
Seriously wanted to tune car before putting away.
Its sitting ready to go.... DSM's.....

Thanks for input

If it's sitting, waiting to go, then you waited too long to ask. The clutch is in and the car is together; go drive it. It's installed; you won't be getting your money back.

If you don't like the clutch, add it to the winter list.

well I am just tuning. At this point I am not slamming gears. Actually at the beginning stages of the tune, so for now its mostly a cruise log and so forth.

I love the Southbend in my car. Much more enjoyable to drive than any ACT single disk car I've owned or driven. Brand new disk and PP, brand new lightened flywheel, brand new OEM master and slave as well as clutch line, brand new pivot ball/fork/TOB (all OEM) on a freshly rebuilt transmission. Best shifting DSM I have ever driven.

Nothing but smiles.
