Question Clutch/Flywheel Combo

Well after last nights out and about I came to realize that my clutch is past its prime and time for a upgrade. I didnt want to change it until I upgraded the all the good stuff but my car is slipping after 7ish lbs of boost. I am leaning towards the ACT Street/Strip Clutch kit rated at 372 ft. lb which is about where I expect to be more or less in a lil while. Price $365+/-.

Though my motor came in immaculant condition with 122xxx kilometers, I am figuring to swap out the flywheel while the transmission is apart to kill two birds with one stone. So Im looking for a flywheel option to best suit my setup/goals.
I am shooting for a GT2871R .64 setup with all the bolt on goodness tuned to perfection. I was following a thread somewhere discussing the differences between using a aluminumn vs a chromoly(sp) wheel and apparently the chromoly wheel wins hands down. So it leaves me (budget minded) with 3 options:

CUSCO light weight (10.56lbs) chromoly flywheel
$435+/-

TODA chromoly lightweight flywheel 10.56lbs
$450+/-

JUN Ultra lightweight Chromoly flywheel 11lbs(roughly)
$450+/-

Looking for any opinions/suggestions on any of these flywheels.

Also, I just ran across the Exedy hyper single plate clutch kit for S13/S14 SR20DET. Kit is rated to hold for 500hp application and includeS lightened flywheel. Any opinions on this setup as well?

John, can you elaborate as to why you would choose that setup?

because it's the straight up most baller one.

now for the real answer


it has a smaller disc set more inward to reduce the moment of inertia (i think that's what it's called)

its a much better kit, designed to work together, it's good stuff. you just gotta watch out for thowse twin plates, they are serious.

Yeah I was looking into the differences in the twin plate/triple plate and singles. Single should be good for me, Exedy Hyper Single Plate clutch set it is!
