If you're looking to give your ride a serious boost, the ACT Heavy Duty Pressure Plate GM012 is worth a look. This isn’t just any pressure plate; it’s designed with an exclusive diaphragm that really cranks up the clamp load. We’re talking about a solid 20 to 50 percent increase here. What does that mean for you? Less deflection and a longer clutch life, which is a game changer whether you're hitting the streets or the track.
One of the standout features of this pressure plate is its four-stage heat-treating process. That might sound technical, but it ensures that the diaphragm can handle the heat—literally. You want reliability when you're pushing your car, and this plate delivers. Plus, the precision cover stampings add a level of rigidity and consistency that you can feel during engagement. You won't be wrestling with the pedal here; it offers light to moderate effort, making it a breeze to drive.
Now, if you’re the type who loves to tinker under the hood, you’ll appreciate that this pressure plate is engineered for durability. It’s not just thrown together; it’s carefully assembled and balanced for smooth high RPM performance. And yes, it’s 100% clamp load tested, so you know it’s ready to handle whatever you throw at it.
As for the specs, this bad boy has a diameter of 10.5 inches (or 266 mm, if you prefer metric). Weighing in at 17.1 lbs, it’s hefty enough to do the job without being a burden. It’s SFI certified, which is a must if you’re serious about racing.
For those curious about fitment, this pressure plate works with a whole host of classic American muscle cars—from the 1958 American Motors Ambassador to the 2002 Pontiac Firebird. It's a versatile choice that can revitalize many builds.
Want to get your hands on it? Check out the installation instructions here. Trust me, once you get this installed, you'll notice the difference right away.

That?s where ACT (Advanced Clutch Technology) comes in delivering high-performance clutch kits and flywheels designed for real drivers who push their builds on the street, strip, or track.
ACT?s lineup includes everything from daily driver friendly HD kits to hardcore twin disc setups for serious horsepower. Whether you?re launching hard in a WRX, drifting in a 370Z, or canyon carving in an M3, ACT gives you the torque capacity and engagement you need without sacrificing drivability.
Why ACT? Because Power Without Control Is Useless.- Hold More Power Engineered to handle turbo, supercharger, and high-compression builds
- Faster Engagement Stronger pressure plates for better bite off the line

- Reduced Rotational Mass Lightweight flywheels improve rev-matching and response
- No Guesswork Direct-fit applications, no fabbing, no hassle

Top supported platforms include the Nissan 350Z/370Z, Toyota Supra A90, Chevy Camaro SS/ZL1, Mitsubishi Evo, Ford Focus RS/ST, and BMW M3/M4 ? each with clutch options tuned to your driving needs.

ACT isn?t hype ? it?s proven. Their clutches are SFI-certified, track-tested, and used by racers in drag, time attack, autocross, drift, and rally. But what really matters? They hold power, last longer, and feel right even after hundreds of hard launches or hours of canyon carving.
Whether you're upgrading for more power or replacing a tired OEM clutch, ACT gives you the bite, strength, and feel to drive harder with confidence. No compromises, no excuses just parts that work when it matters.
