Default Act Clutch?

A friend recomend an act clutch. He has always used this in all his cars. The only thing they were not fbodys. I cant find to much information on people using these. I was suggested to get a mcloued rxt, but do I really need a 1000 hp clutch that is very expensive for a car that will see 450 rwhp. Any one running this and your thoughts.

I have the hdss I believe. Good to around 500. Ive only driven it about 50 miles due to a trans failure. But seemed really good. No chatter, but it was stiff. Although I may just need to adjust my MC. (I came from stock if that helps)

i have the gm9hdss , i think thats the one , both me and my brother run it and its great . Im at 430 rhwp and its been holding fine and i assume it will hold more because my bros firehawk with 385 rwhp with 28" slicks doing 5500 rpm launches didnt bother it . I have 17k on mine and its been flawless.

you need a shim with it . i used one from speed inc.
