I just took out my tranny and they both look like garbage so I am going to get new ones.

I am thinking of going with a fidanza lightweight flywheel for like $300...not sure if I need that much for my N/A GT.

Also I know a lot of people ask but Im thinking of getting a new clutch and not sure what to get? I am thinking of another centerforce clutch but what is everyone else running?

I'm running a King Cobra clutch and couldn't be happier... for $160, you can't beat it. Of course, a Centerforce or McLeod clutch would be a solid investment as well, but at the time I didn't have much cash so I went with FRPP's offering. I opted to also get the FRPP nodular iron flywheel, and it is heavy as hell... I wish i got something lighter but what's done is done. The Fidanza flywheel will be a great addition to your setup if you can afford it.

Just ordered a fidanza aluminum flywheel and another centerforce dual friction clutch maybe that will knock a couple tenths off my et's.

Click to expand...

it's possible... just make sure you go easy on the clutch for about 600-1000 miles.
