Default ls7 clutch with lightened fly

I've been reading up alot and am in the market for a new clutch.

I've really tried searching to best of my ability, but it can be tepermental and sometimes tricky to find things that are off the beaten path.

I am almost 100% sure I want a LS7 clutch but down sides of that come the heavier LS2 flywheel.

I know fizdaina offers a lightened fly for the gtos, before I click buy on anything.

Will this light fly fit on the LS7 clutch I know for the LS7 clutch you need a LS2 fly, but i've not found one report of anyone using a lightened fly.

Also does anyone else make a lightened fly for these cars? Anyone who runs an lightened fly please chime in.

It needs to be an LS2 compatible flywheel! I havew the LS7 clutch/LS2 flywheel combo and can attest to it's smootheness, strength and ability to hold at least 500+ hp.

I have been watching the Fidanza clutch setup. Issue with the LS7 is they will glaze on hard launch from what I have read and the pressure plate is still really heavy.

Would this be an issue with only a handful of track days and mostly daily driving or is this in the case of real abuse?
