Question Clutch and FLYwheel again Question

So looking at the upgrade ( RS Flywheel and clutch). Found the parts and great del from one of the sponsors after looking arround how is going to do the work I run into Moorspeed here in Austin to do the Job ( David owner ) suggested to go with a Tilton triple clutch and release bearing and a quick release clutch hydraulic linean instead of the RS set up.

What do you guys think is this going to be over kill??

Please advice

The stock stuff works....if you want more hard core go for the Cup car parts....plus i think the warranty will be better with stock parts.

That's great if you are running at LeMans, otherwise- way overkill. But, hey- it's your money.

Could you let me know where you ended up getting your parts? I'm looking to do the same given that I'm going to have the engine out of my car soon.

Care to elaborate on why you are going to have to pull the motor? RMS?

If mine goes (RMS) I will install a LWFW for sure. Tim

Elaborate on the RS front pully change vs. the OE one. Benifits, P/N's, and costs. Please, Thanks

Balkan,
Thanks for the pully P/N's. I assume there are some performance benifits. Are the diameters of the pullys different? Or is it only a weight issue? Are the benifits worth the effort to make any changes? I also see a listing for the RS and the cup version. I would really appreciate details as I would like to make an informed decision.

WAIT!!!! From what I know of engines, (and its not much), one should NEVER do pulley and Flywheel toghther. It is either one or the other.
