need suggestions on a new flywheel

So i bought a stage 3 exedy 6 puck racing clutch recently and new zzp stage 1 axles. Now i'm looking into buying a new upgraded throw out bearing and flywheel. wish i could have done it all at once, but ya know, i'm not rich. Anyways, i'm hoping some of you have some suggestions on where to get a light weight racing flywheel from and what kind...aluminum or steel and why. I read some steel flywheels are 1 pc and can be as light as aluminum, and the aluminums are 2 pieces and they can seperate?

My SPEC LW flywheel is aluminum with a replaceable (by SPEC) steel wear plate. No issues for 25k miles. Excedy has one also but I forget the details.

If you are drag racing, you are better off with the OEM.

If you are road racing or even auto-x, then you would want the light weight.

Not sure who Zetti is, unless you meant Exedy. In which case you should have a new flyhweel already.

^^^^^this.

however if you use the stock one it will need resurfaced. OR you could go my route seeing as how a shop in my area wanted like $75 to resurface my flywheel i just bought a new one from the dealer for $120.

exedy is more like it, my buddy that put it in must have pernounced it funny. anyway, ya, i'm drag racing, so why would the stock be better for drag vs a light weight? I bought it from a 3rd party vendor without a flywheel.

Didn't know they sold the Exedy without the flywheel. Unless it was just an OEM replacement. Or maybe I am just lost in current product they offer.

Drag racing requires launching, and a light flywheel is a pain to launch with.
