Default New flywheel??

Just about to order my tko600, need to get the 26 spline clutch for it, but do i need to get a new flywheel, or will the stock fit, just got a new clutch last year and the shop resurfaced it.

If i do need one, steel or aluminum, 0oz, 28oz, or 50oz?? I really know nothing about what the advantages or disadvantages are of each.

you should get an aluminum to help make up for the parasitic loss from the heavier transmission

swapping a TKO in place of a T5 will actually make the car slower because you wont put as much HP to the wheels

its not that it makes you slower, but it takes more HP to spin the thing
