I'm gonna look at other options like the Monster , McCloud , textrailia and see how close in weight and price they come. But looks like LS7/Fidanza/ACT Prolite is gonna be tough to beat.

I just put the the LS7 with the Fidanza flywheel on about a month ago. Went to Heartland Park last weekend for a Audi HPDE. I really could feel a difference pulling out of corners and it really seem to have a quicker throttle responce. I am very happy with this set up for the road racing type stuff I do. It really has a nice feel to it.
Is there a difference between the Fidanza aluminum flywheel for the LS6 and LS7 clutches? My friend is selling me his Fidanza aluminum FW for $100 with only 5K miles on it. He used it for his 2400Lbs Datsun with a stock LS1. So I know it's not beaten on too hard. And I could service it if needed.

When I had a LS7 clutch with the Fidanza Aluminum flywheel installed, it became hard to shift at high rpm. I've been told that the LS7 clutch disk is heavy. So even though the overall weight of the whole assembly might be the same, you have to have a light disk for good shifting.

LS1 and LS7 flywheels are different. I actually found a aluminum Fidanza for a great price but it's for an LS1 so I'm considering which clutch to use now. Looking at F1 racing stg3, ACT, or maybe a Monster but can't find the clutch without their flywheel.

But I'm running into the same issue as you are, all the clutches seem to come with a flywheel. However, on Summit Racing's site, they do have clutches that don't come with the flywheel. But they also don't come with a lot of other stuff too.
