Im torn between mMantic, Monster Mcleod and Textralia....jeez. Do they all come with new flywheels?
I'm sure they do or at least give you the option to include a new one.

Should I go aluminum flywheel?
From what I gather, the aluminum flywheels weigh less and rev much quicker. I have not driven a car with an aluminum flywheel so I can't personally say what the difference does for driveability. The only thing I could find online was some people saying that it takes a little more finesse to start from a stop and that typically you would want an aluminum flywheel if you plan to do road racing.

also should the master cylinder be replaced?
I don't think it would be a bad idea to replace it since you said that you were having some pedal issues. That way all your clutch hydraulics will be nice and new. I went ahead and had mine replaced a few months ago when I had my clutch changed.

Thanks for your input! Did you replace it with a Tick master cylinder or oem GM?

Thanks

I went with OEM and it has been working great so far.
