do you think it will run pretty good with a setup like that?

I'm running the act xtss clutch on my setup, and its rough to ride around in traffic, but well worth it when it comes time to boost. I've heard that 6-pucks are hard on the tranny, which if you have the cash, i would pick something else up.
my car is dd, so i avoided the 6-puck

Example. running a 6-puck w/extreem pressure plate is overkille for a 250hp honda, while a street disk w/hd pressure plate is about perfect..
For your power though your going to need at least a 6-puck w/extreem pressure plate if not a 4-puck disk to hold that power.
You may have to even look into a twin disk.
I know my goal of about 450 (ish) whp and 300+ ft lbs is going to require a 6-puck and extreem pressure plate (ACT)....
I hate to say it for the sake of your wallet but a tildens twin disk may be in order for you if close to 500ft lbs is in your future.

Thats part of the reason why I kept the stock 81mm bore when I had my motor sleeved, I plan to make as much power as my clutch can hold, the next step would be a twin disk. And I don't want to spend that kind of money.....i'll make the best use of the power I'm making.
