Aftermarket Flywheel and Clutch issues
 
Hey again!
It's been a while, but once again query brings fourth controversy. I find myself stuck in the decision of a new Clutch and Flywheel. I am being forced to swap my old tranny for an S2 with POSI. But in the process I must swap the clutch and flywheel. I have been looking at a few options and definitely need to do this right the 1st time. My needs are for an ultra light-weight flywheel and a dual friction clutch; I would however not mind at all going with a triple-plate but it seems prices on those are far more and would be economical.... most I've seen are at least 3 times the dual plate versions. I was wondering if any of you have used or have knowledge of any of the components and can vouch on their quality and longevity.

Thanx guys!

model, year, etc of car would be helpful, also what rwhp are you putting down?

As current:
1983 n/a, 944 of course. Afterall this is the '44 forums.

The tranny I am swapping out for is an 91-92 S2 with POSI-Lock. For the sake of saving the flame-war and pissing contest lets just say more rwhp than an standard n/a should ever produce. But with mods to be the need for more coverage is definite. Most of the added parts are from the S2 or greater aftermarket, although the dual-plate I have been eyeballing is a 951 model.

So you're putting down about 150 to the wheels unless you are supercharged. Stock clutch is fine.
