Thought the zero balance was an option but wasn't sure, what I bought was an extra new Mcleod twindisc GForce had since Dec, has the clutch, yada yada. I wanted a steel flywheel, this ones alum, but like Joe @T56Rebuilds told me if you've got enough hp/tq it won't matter they both will hold up fine. Think the alum being lighter @rpm helps me on the top end down the track and steel was beasty down low on launching, shrugs either way we'll see. I'd say go with the 10% off thats cool. I saved the cost of alum flywheel because it was just sitting there, it costs letting your inventory sit around. Keep us posted how you like it once installed, will do the same here.

Well if your ****'s neutral balanced.. get it neutral balanced.. if it's not.. Then get the weight.. it's your call.. use a stock flywheel to balance your rotating assy so you will have no issue w/ the weighted twin..

Only issue is making sure you assemble it the same way you take it apart.. it's a pretty intricate setup.. lil spacer's and it's very critical that it be put together correctly..

Good to hear.. you'll be very happy w/ the twin.. Just please understand it's the baddest clutch out for the ltx car's and that it does have it's quirk's.. It's not going to engage "as" smooth as a stocker but will def be alot smoother than any p.o.s spec clutch they have ever made...

Purchased one about a week or so ago from T Byrne. It won't arrive until next week. Either way, I can't wait. I'm still stock, but I have a 9" and slicks, so I won't have to worry about the clutch going out though. Although my stock clutch seemed to hold 5k dumps pretty well though. I mean I pulled a 1.84 60' on the stock clutch lol.

The Street Twin is the best LT1/LS1 clutch we can get. It is still kicking LONG after the others have turned to dust

We have installed just about every clutch out there and the twin is what we always go to when the others die

Joe @T56Rebuilds is rebuilding my T56, tore it down, 2nd & 3rd gears were shot, the rest is all being beefed up along with the Mikronite Surface Finishing. Hope this all holds up along with a 33-splined 12 bolt.
