Default new flywheel?

Should I go ahead and get a new flywheel when I install my spec stage 2 clutch? The car isn't going to be a daily driver anymore, it'll be more street strip.

A new flywheel is just that...NEW. Your current flywheel could have heat spots and possible cracks, so if you have the money...get a new one!

Which kind really depends on what you are wanting to do with the car. If you straight-line race, get an iron or steel one. They help tings get moving. If you do canyon carving, get an aluminum. they reduce rotational mass and help the engine rev quicker. They aren't great for drag racing, because you don't have the out-of-the-hole grunt like an iron or steel one.
