Flywheel and clutch recommendations
Mine need to be replaced. I'm at 332rwhp and 351tq, but I'll be in the 450rwhp range towards the end of this summer. I'm looking for recommendations for a flywheel and clutch combo, or whatever. No need to get crazy w/ ceramic or anything though.
Any input appreciated.

Cartech Clutch has 3000lbs clamping force, compared to 1500lbs stock and 1800 for the Z06. That should work just fine. My car is around 440 FWHP and the Cartech handles it wish ease.

Re: Flywheel and clutch recommendations (JerryL)
If you drive the car on the street and use most of your track time at the strip then you should probably go with a steel flywheel. An aluminum flywheel is great for road racing but can have some drawbacks for street or strip use. The lower mass reduces intertia allowing the motor to increase revs faster but it is also more likely to bog or die when moving from a start. Thus it requires higher revs from a stop to get moving which is harder on the drive line. JMHO
