Default Which billet steel flywheel?

Hey guys I am almost ready to drop in my new LT1 engine and I wanted to know which billet steel flywheel you guys are running? My car is a DD and some strip use built 355 with LE ported heads & intake, 847 cam, lts and an occasional 150 shot. I currently have an SLP billet lw flywheel but it doesn't have alot of thickness and my engine builder told me the first time I spray out the gate the flywheel will warp like a brake rotor that's gotten too hot. So I'm trying to avoid paying labor twice when this flywheel goes so what should I get, a Centerforce, SPEC what? And I don't want an aluminum flywheel, also has anyone had any expirence with the SLP LW flywheel in hard use, am I just worring over nothing cause I could spend that $500 somewhere else ya know what I mean, thanks?

I have two steel SPEC flywheels, they work fine. They do require balancing.

Thanks guys I ordered a SPEC billet steel and it weighs 28# vs the 36.5# for a Centerforce billet steel and both are heavier than my SLP billet lw flywheel which weighs about 12# or 13#.
