Can I get a Stage 2 and break it in with a stock 2.2l L61 before going turbo? Or would it be too rough on the Stock flywheel trying to take off?

More questions about torque ratings. I burnt out a spec stage 2+ with 530 ft/lb to the wheels but its only rated for like 400 ft/lb max. Is there any way I could get away with the KY stage 3? I don't want the harshness of a 4 puck. I'm not even sure I want a 6 puck over a full face, but I need the extra strength for 4th gear.
Next question is about weight. How much does the KY stage 3 weight compared to stock. Ever since I've had the spec, it seems like the engine takes for ever to lose rotational speed. I plan on mating my next clutch to a Fidanza aluminum flywheel hoping it will help reduce unnecessary clutch wear during quick shifting this season. I know that a lot of high capacity clutches are heavier, particularly the pressure plate, to provide the extra clamping force. Just curious how much heavier than stock the KY stage 3 is than stock.
Last question is about longevity. How many seasons are people generally getting off these clutches? 4 years seems to be the magic number for my current clutch but really only 2 at high load. Traffic defiantly had an impact on it as well.
I'm really on the fence with the KY stage 3. I enjoyed my spec stage 2+ even though it started to chatter and make noise during engagement and I'm impressed it went as far as it did. I want something that is steerable and will not mind launching with boost and warm slicks on the other end of a pissed off transmission. Is the KY stage 3 for me? BTW this is going on an f23 cobalt lt.

I have the kystg3 on my 07 le5 f23 car and daily driving feels pretty much like stock, its a little heavier but nothing crazy at all. Definitely a mild 6 puck. Not sure about the torque im probably only making 250wtq but it holds great haha.
