I'm ready to pull the trigger on a new clutch setup and was wondering if what I had choosen was a good idea. Spec 2+ SF463H kit, SF46S steel flywheel. Price is $411 and $259 respectively. With regards to the steel flywheel, some say aluminum is the way to go, some say steel. I'm n/a with stock drive shaft, but I plan to go to aluminum drive shaft and a roots blower sometime in the future. Please give me your opinions on these choices.

will the aluminum flywheel break down sooner than the steel?

At your hp level I recommend the Centerforce Dual friction. Anything over 400 rwhp, Centerforce DFX. I've had both on my car now and they are very user friendly. I just installed the DFX. I also have a centerforce aluminum flywheel. It won't break down sooner because the part that the friction material contacts is still steel. the rest of the flywheel is aluminum. Lightweight flywheels work very well with these cars.

If you plan on a blower I would go with the DFX and upgrade the slave to the Mcleod slave/brg assy.
