The right Flywheel

I'm thinking of buying this flywheel for my auto to 5 speed tranny swap. I have a 621 bell housing and a T5 out of a Camaro. I think I'm going with this 11 inch 168 tooth clutch form Summit.

My question is about this flywheel. It's cheap ($75), from Zoom Performance.

Is it ok to use? I don't race, just street driving.

Or am I better off with this?

Thanks for you're opinion in advance.

In my opinion both of those flywheels are identical. The yare just copies of the GM 168 tooth ductile iron flywheel. If you are not racing and shift at a moderate rpm the Zoom one would do the job. Eckers has always been on the high side of pricing in most items I have checked. The Zoom flywheel and clutch you list should work OK for mild street driving

Any flywheel that's made for your engine (168 tooth) will work. Not much difference, Orieleys had mine for $50. It does have to work with your 26 spline 11" clutch/pressure plate.
