Default where to get a flywheel?

Well it seems my 5.4 is a 8 bolt and my 4.6 is obviously a 6 bolt so I'm going to need a new flywheel. I'm wondering if anyone knows a good place to get a 8 bolt flywheel. Also I was wonder my clutch is a 10.5" but I want to upgrade to an 11" flywheel but I don't want to buy a new clutch right now is it possible to run an 10.5" clutch on an 11" flywheel?

Why not stick with a 10.5" clutch and flywheel since it's got a better moment of inertia?

Spec makes some decent flywheels, I recommend a 10.5" steel flywheel. I got the 6 bolt version and it looks great. I'm sure the 8 bolt will be just as nice.

As a general rule, most aluminum flywheels make the car nearly unbearable on the street. Or so I've heard. SPEC is the company that made the flywheel and I believe it's quite a bit better than the stocker.

Yeah I wasn't looking for aluminum just like a good steel one. You have any links or web sites I could try? I would appreciate it.

well if you get a lighter one you will reduce parasitic loss which means you will have less drivetrain loss. But its not going to be enough to notice really
