Get a Competition Clutch Stage 4 and a Competition Clutch Steel Ultra Light 9lb Flywheel. Or get the Fidanza Lightweight Flywheel.

i heard that with a 9lbs fw you will run into issues if you use the AC. don't know how true that is. i have a stage 4 clutch master with 6puck disc and a 12lbs CC flywheel. just deciding on if i want to get a LSD then i will just slap everything on at once.

That is not true.

The 9lb flywheel feels great. The car idles like stock after the ECU relearns itself (if you had the battery disconnected while installing).

No noticeable hp gains - just faster revs. I like it a lot. The clutch feels strong - makes you feel like your car's a beast even though mine isn't yet.

i don't think there is no need to go overbored with the puck style clutch unless you have big plans for the car in the immediate future.

Stay with stage 3 where its still disc type, the puck style will be too aggressive for you and you dont even have power yet.. though i didnt really notice much different, it could be annoying at times considering that a lil more roughness is added to your stock car
