I have a 6 puck and it's more like an on/off switch compared to a stock clutch. You could put a 6 puck in a daily driver, but driving in stop/go traffic will suck.

It takes some getting used to when starting from a dead stop too.

The GSR Trans is better then the LS Transmission.

It has shorter gears for better acceleration. Probably THE transmission to have if you boosting, or plan on adding a Turbo anytime soon.

puck clutches have a softer material for extra grip and holding power, they are fine to run in daily drivers, i have a sprung 6 puck and i can slip it very well, close to stock, it just chatters a bit at the very end if you don't give it any gas.

the puck clutch will just not have as great of a lifespan compared to a street disc...say if a street disc gives you 100k miles, a puck will prolly be half that give or take. unless you really rip on it
