What about thier "Pro Gold" kit It comes with a aluminum flywheel that looks like the fidanza one...

From thier website:
"Welcome to the world of real performance.
Upgrading a vehicle to meet the challenges of extreme conditions requires an upgrade to a performance clutch. Engine, suspension, tire and gearing modifications require clutches with higher clamp load and torque capacity than a stock clutch can deliver. Until now, there hasn't been a clutch system engineered to meet the demands of these applications.
LuK PRO GOLD PERFORMANCE is a high-performance clutch set that's engineered - not modified - to handle the torque, the heat and the punishment of extreme conditions without sacrificing service life.
Serious Performance Built-in - Not Painted On
Higher performance can't be added on to a stock clutch. Most performance clutch suppliers would like you to believe they manufacture their products, when they really only paint or modify an existing stock clutch or disc, never designed for high performance use.
LuK PRO GOLD PERFORMANCE is different. No racing stripes. No gimmicks. PRO GOLD PERFORMANCE is pure and its power comes from within: heavy-duty, premium-quality clutch components matched with high-friction coefficient facings, wrapped around the industry's toughest torsion damper and tuned to perfection."
"ALUMINUM PERFORMANCE FLYWHEELS
If you crave a little more excitement off the red line, specify a genuine LuK high-performance aluminum flywheel to reduce weight, maximize useable horsepower and reduce the stress on your engine's main bearings. These dynamically-balanced flywheels are precision-machined from ultra lightweight 1061 T6 Aluminum for high strength and excellent heat dissipation. The friction surface and ring gears are machined from 1050 high-carbon tool steel to ensure long life and excellent performance under pressure. All LuK aluminum performance flywheels are SFI-approved."

I've reasearched that clutch in particular, and everyone I asked said it was no better in terms of holding power than a standard LS6 clutch, which my car came with stock.
I'll stick by my above statement: they do not have an answer for a true performance clutch.
