fidanza + spec stage 2+...not so sure about the reliability of the 2+ clutch, but it hooks up awesome.

My opinion: Centerforce stage 1 and your stock flywheel. Feels like normal, but a stronger clutch to handle the power.

I have SouthBend clutch stage 3, which is priced waaaay lower than any of the clutches mentioned above. I've had it over 6 months and love it!! It almost feel stock and grips awesome, hasnt slipped at all! I also have Fidanza flywheel.

SPEC was good quality, don't skimp on the flywheel, its a little salty, but worth it.

I was asking myself the same question, I ended up buying the SPEC Stage 2, and I absolutely love it. I constantly race and am using the stock flywheel, and no problems. It grips amazingly well and has quick engagement. Its literally like night and day.

You will rev up faster with a lighter Flywheel meaning that you will go slightly faster as far as mph goes, but you do lose torque. You will notice this when going uphills that you car will rev up higher faster but with no speed conversion becuz of the lighter Flywheel.
