Anyone running an ACT clutch?
I've done a forum search, and hadn't seen too much on it. My brother and alot of his SRT4 buddies are running that clutch and they swear by it, and looking up reviews, I've seen alot of positives. Though nothing on LS cars. Probably for a reason.
Yes, I've seen alot on Monster during my searches here, but I have a friend who had a terrible experience with them, and I've veered away from them due to the customer service he experienced. But if people can sway me otherwise... I've also been looking at Mcleod clutches.
Here's the ACT clutch & lightweight flywheel I've been looking at:

Now the price isn't too bad for both clutch/flywheel. But if I can get any opinions, that'd be great! And yes, I have done some forum searching, and I have seen alot of good regarding Monster. And yes, I'm willing to spend good money on a nice setup. I am running a Tick Adjustable Master, and I'll be installing the tick slave when I do the clutch.
By the way, the car is a "soon-to-be" Heads / Cam '00 WS6 (street / auto-x / strip)
I've got all the parts, just gathering the time to put it all together soon.

I've their twin organic on mine, and for most part it's been very good. I've had to adjust their floater lift bolts a couple of times, oddly not to their instructions either. But other than that it's held more power than it's rated for, drives super smooth and works fine.
Also used their singles on some Subarus, and again they seem to perform fine. Only thing that seems common...they do achieve high torque ratings, but it seems to come from heavy covers and lots of clamp, which translates to heavier pedal than some other might have.

ACT makes good stuff, they have good support, and are rebuildable. Unless buying some ultra exotic stuff, they're a good choice. I've been part of many ACT twin installations. I'd rather an ACT on my car over the usual here any day of the week
I'd be careful with aftermarket hydraulics, don't want to over exert stuff too much. I've seen aftermarket hydraulics damage slave cylinders and clutch units.

^^^Yes, when I spoke to ACT's tech, they suggested a latter, OEM GM master and slave with the drill mod already done new, or an older one with just the drill mod.
