Default installing Spec II, flywheel options?

when i install my clutch i can either:

1 - turn the cast flywheel

2 - fidanzaforged steel flywheel

3 - spec billet steel flywheel

Tim @ MPH recommended a steel flywheel over the alum. so an alum. one is out of the question. anyone have any suggestions? car will be full bolt-ons with an intercooled v2sq, hoping for about 400 rwhp

I would match up the the Spec clutch with the Spec flywheel if it were me... Why did MPH recommend you not to use an aluminum flywheel???

with the blower you really won't need a lighter flywheel, the steel is stronger. i think this is why tim recommends the steel over the alum.

Get the strongest one you can find for the money you are looking to spend. With full bolt ons and an intercooled blower you will easily make 400whp if not quite a bit more.

It would be a good idea to start looking into some 31 spline axles if you have any semi-serious drag racing aspirations. Cause with a good clutch and good sticky tires it isn't gonna last too long.
