Alstann, you gonna be drag racing your z a fair amount, or do you just need the 6 puck disk to hold that 550hp power range?

I actually plan on doing various things with my car - there were several reasons why I went for the Stage 3 Drag 6 puck. Before my stock clutch went out, I did many things with my car - including plenty of spirited driving, drag racing (and powershifting through gears), and some amateur drifting as well. When shopping for my clutch and flywheel, I wanted to purchase something that could hold the power of a twin turbo setup reliably, be able to withstand heavy abuse, as well as be daily driveable.

Even though I don't drive my Z every day, my plan for my build is a car that you can simply get into, start, and drive no fuss, no hassle. Basically like a very powerful, OEM+ car. The 6 puck mated to the 19lb steel flywheel matched all those requirements for me. I'm sure other clutches, including full face can hold the power fine, but I wanted the feeling that I would NEVER have to worry about my clutch not being able to handle anything I throw at it. Plus, the 6 puck is not bad at all to drive.

Am I the only one who went with the .64 exhaust housing?

You never know. It very well could let go on the dyno since there's no way for the tires to break loose and unload the driveline. Do the clutch at or before the turbo kit

That's what I'm running, and I love it. It spools instantly. Looking at a compressor map, I haven't even begun to push the turbos at 9 psi. Granted I'm running the EWGs, so it acts as if it has a slightly larger hot side, but if I had to do it again I'd still go with the .64.

im not too worried about it. it'll be alright until i get the twin disc. I'm not doing the clutch at home (where I'm doing the turbo kit) otherwise i would just do it now. im going to be doing the clutch at work on a lift. it will be so much easier.
