I my have to get a new clutch soon, and I'm on a limited budget, so what you you think?

1) get a sport clutch and a lightened flywheel.

OR

2) get a new stock clutch and a catback system.

I can't do both. Please give reasons with your answers...THANKS

spec stage 2 clutch is about the same price as stock.

i heard lightweight flywheels throw off the balance of the engine..

I think that you refering to lightweight pullies and harmonic balancers etc... The LWFW he is talking about deals with the clutch, and reduces rotating mass, and allows the revs to fall quicker, etc...

sport clutch with LWFW is like 1K

For 1K you could get your oem FW resurfaced, get a spec stage 3/4 clutch for 450ish and then get a borla cat back for like 530ish, and still put you near the 1K mark, which is what I would do.

By the way, good suggestions.

I haven't got that far ..... yet

I think any capable machine shop could resurface it for you, though.

Either post a thread on the performance board about it, or do a search and see what turns up.

I just searched, seems like it is a way to make it better and a little lighter...im not sure tho.

remember to take into account labor costs... clutch work is expensive
