I went with a TDP stage 3, with lightweight billet flywheel. Jason builds these lightweight flywheels only to compensate for the heavier, more durable clutch assembly that your getting. I read the reviews, and some posted that the clutch action is "light switch on or off". I totally disagree. I can move the car around the shop with ease. It's not jumpy at all, and I drove the car around the street before getting off to paint, and the clutch feels great. I've read that your planning an ls7 build, so you might want to figure out your final power numbers, before you commit to a clutch.

Whatever you buy, take the entire assembly to your engine builder, and have them balance the entire assembly. Believe me, every clutch manufacturer says that their clutch is zero balanced. Wrong! They all need some work done to them. This is the key to smooth shifting trannys...balance the clutch assembly. Mine was out a considerable amount, and I talked to Jason about it at TDP, he couldn't believe it. Even my high end 5.5" QuarterMaster 3 disk clutches back in my late model days needed balancing by my engine builder.
