Flywheel

I just ordered a new Center Force Clutch & Throw out bearing and was wondering do I need to get the flywheel too? I have 20,000 mile on my car and a brand new Vortech Blower. Old clutch was slipping under wot.

It is recommended to replace the flywheel with the clutch.

Was your clutch slipping in all the gears at WOT or just certain ones? At VIR last week mine started slipping, but only in 4th at WOT above 5500 rpms. It never did it in 3rd nor in any gear since, just in 4th. I guess it is time for a clutch?
