Stock flywheel with aftermarket clutch?

My combo is finally too much for my GMPP clutch. I've gotten about 30k on it, and its beginning to slip in 4th. So now onto a combo to hopefully hold 500/500ish. I've been reading many reputable people on here are saying aftermarket clutch compounds are a bit much for OEM flywheels. My plan is to use ZZP's oem replacement flywheel and a Southbend Stage 4 plus clutch, but now I'm second guessing the flywheel. I'm thinking an aluminum flywheel wouldn't be so good for a driver/occasional strip car. I would value some opinions............

I think I have seen that people experience more idle issues with a lightweight flywheel so that may be something to consider.

Ive had the fidanza and and southbend 4+ for about a year and a half. Ive never had any issues with it. The only idle issues I had were due to a faulty o2.

I run that clutch on a oem flywheel. Like oem oem Germany. No issues. Even the reg stage 4. Your gonna have issues of it blowing up before anything. They are hit or miss clutches. They hold 500 real easy
