The flywheel, even if you have abused the heck out of the clutch, still lives, as its a problem with the pressure plate. In 99% of all the stock clutches I have taken out the friction disc is still half assed ok, considering the clutch slips, and the flywheel is fine . Take some 380 or so grit and just roughen up the flywheel surface. Install new clutch and be happy.
The GMPP kit comes with a new TOB and is very good value indeed. If you have nothing more than stock or GM stage 2 mods, this clutch is really all you need. If you go to the drag strip, well thats a completely different story.

It should be noted that the SS/SC is a SAC setup, while the SS/TC is a NON SAC setup, so a SPEC 3+ in an SS/TC with a resurfaced stock flywheel should be fine if you want to go that route.
Just throwing that out there for the SS/TC people that may see this.
Update: After a quick search I found that Aaron@TTR agrees (http://www.skyroadster.com/forums/f2...tml#post466257).

Yes agreed. Over on the Delta platform (Cobalt 2.0L LNF) the best clutch has been the SPEC Stage 3+ NON SAC setup. GM moved to a NON SAC setup in the cobalt when it switched from being the supercharged, to the turbo charged engine...
