Default Clutch and Flywheel

Wondering what is the best clutch and flywheel for a modded LG Z06. I am considering an aluminum flywheel, but have been told that these are hard on other internals. I do not race or track the car. It is just driven on the street.

What are people using and should I have any concerns about going to an aluminum flywheel?

I am considering the Textrilla clutch and am not sure this is the best.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, How much power are you making? I make a bit over 420 N/A heads and cam and run a RAM Twin Disc. It is their new setup. Drives like stock around town. If you ever decide to put your foot into it though...the holding power will be there all the way. It came with ARP hardware and a RAM aluminum flywheel. The Aluminum flywheel is sort of offset with the weight of the second disc, but almost acts like a light billet steel flywheel. I felt Like I was loosing power till I installed this clutch.

if you got the money but the dual disk you cannot go wrong. do it right the first time. Most people run single disk clutches because that is what the wallet allows. the best clutch for the money is what I suggest. The ram is cheaper than the tex but I feel like it is just as good. Hope this helps

I am making mid 480 RWHP. I have the standard gearing in my Z, and my car has 4,000 miles on it. Clutch is still good, but I want to change it out to a better one. I was told that the Aluminum Flywheel was hard on internals.

Thanks for the replies.
