light billet flywheel = solid disc clutch???
Putting the last pieces of my new motor together and the flywheel is one of them. It is a SFI lightened (18lbs) billet flywheel (153 tooth). Looking into a clutch, I'm biengtold I need a "solid disc"clutch, ie no springs, which means the clutch wont slip...is this right?? what did other people use on these billet flywheels???

The springs are shock absorbers and don't have anything to do with the total holding power of the friction material.
The clutch disk its self is nothing without a good pressure plate. 153 tooth smaller diameter flywheels and performance clutches should not be used in the same sentence. The larger 168 tooth 11 inch have many more square centimeters of contact surface.
If you are looking for lite weight. The billet aluminum pressure plates are pretty trick
