SPEC Stage 3+ Clutch - flywheel?
Just purchased a spec stage 3+ clutch and have a question about flywheels. My car is an 01 Z06 and has just over 28,000 miles on it. I have a G5X3 cam and daily drive the car. Because I drive it so often I really dont want to put an aluminum flywheel in the car - my question is can I use the stock flywheel with this clutch?
Since the car has low miles, I assume I can either just touch up the flywheel surface or leave it alone. Also, I have a spacer that goes behind the slave so I believe my pedal height should be okay - is this spacer required all the time or do I need to take some sort of measurement to check?
I bought the clutch slightly used for a good deal so if I can get away with it I would like to use the stock flywheel, just want to check to see if I can.
Thanks for any help,
Gabe

I am sure I could daily drive it with an aluminum flywheel... however like I said, I got the clutch for cheap and if the stock flywheel will work fine then I would rather keep it. I have searched around and found a few instances where people have used the stock flywheels so that is my plan. Can anyone else verify this will work? Thanks again.

With that cam no. I remember forgot his handl name, have G5x2 cam only package on his 01 Z06 and had hell of a time idling right with AL Flywheel, finally Ed from VA speed tuned his car and even than it was little hit n miss specially at stop light.
Stock flywheel will work fine, may be check the surface or take this new clutch and stock FW to mchinist to balance.

I also had a spec 3 with a fidanza flywheel and never had any issues,except the fact that the spech 3 clutch chattered quite a bit upon engagement if the rpms werent high enough,normal function according to Summit Racing,as for the spacer,if im not mistaken,i think in the directions is specifies to use on the F body cars,I installed it on mine and had to take it out cause the clearance was minimal and the throwout bearing was riding against the preassure plate forks making a squeeling noice in neutral position,just my opinion and experience,by no means am i an expert,but thought id share my Spec 3 experience,since then,ive gone with a Cartek setup and love it!
