It's a long (expensive) road your travelling. These compeitiors are very very fast and they've been doing it for years. They show up w 200 TW race cars - lexan, carbon fiber, no interior, Jerico transmissions (Dave), dry sumps and more. To get within a .5 sec is a major accomplishment.
You could very well be a fantastic, experienced driver which would put you right up there but some of these guys have years of experience on you and VERY deep pockets. From what I see on DSE's site, your car somewhat resembles a street car. Getting into an arms race right out of the gate may be an expensive lesson - and I'll bet there's a phase 2,3, and 4 on your car to shave off those last 10ths.
If it were me (it's not) I'd still go RXT w an alum lightweight flywheel and save a few G$ now. You can tune your car with it, see how much you enjoy the competition, and then sell it used to step up. Plus sooner or later budget could be an issue, right?
Anyway whatever you do more power to you. I'll be cheering for you no matter what clutch you buy. GL!

This ain't my first rodeo building a car, I've done a few show cars. That car ain't what it appears, we thought a lot about weight reduction, the bolt on body panels will all be carbon including the doors, the cage is all chrome moly, the dash is a one piece fiberglass dash and weighs 4#, the motor will be dry sumped, the radiator is custom built with liquid to liquid coolers for the oil and power steering cooler, the trans is rockland tranzilla with an internal mechanical pump for the cooler, the rear is a full floater, the third member has an internal pump for the cooler and was dynoed @ Roush Yates. I've researched every part on the car for performance and weight.
