I'm running an evolution aluminum flywheel, act 6 puck sprung, and act HD pp. The pedal is not super hard to press, but it does spring back with some force. You can rest your foot weight on it while driving and it does not move so it is kinda nice in that respect as you can have your foot always on the pedal. I don't know how much worse the pedal would be with a Xtreme pp though, the HD was recommended to me over the xtreme for high power street use by act when I talked to them, and they said I should be fine as for power levels. (although severe abuse or repeated drag race launching was not recommended with this setup by them)

Once it was fully broken it is actually decently slipable, but the engagement window is pretty small. I don't how much different it may be with a stock flywheel??

It's holding close to 700hp with no issues. act is typically underrated on holding power.

clutches are really rated in torque not hp though so keep that in mind.
