Default Flywheel, clutch, starter question

I have an LM4 and will be mating it to a 2006 GTO T56.
I was going to get an LS7 flywheel, and clutch setup. Then, I've had people mention possibly needing an LS2 based starter?
Are there any special considerations for the flywheel, clutch, or starter? Power goal is not much more than stock. Maybe 50-60 over stock.

Lots of mixed information online. I'm much closer to actual purchase, and want to avoid getting something incompatible.

Thanks!

I have read about the bell housing provision for the starter on the GTO is smaller than some of the other LS style starters and requires a GTO starter. That is a simple fix. If you get an LS7 clutch kit that comes with the flywheel you should be good to go.

Awesome, thank you!

Looks like tickperformance has a pretty good deal on an LS7 clutch and flywheel combo. Then just need to grab an LS2 starter.
