Way too much clutch for your power level.

Exedy Stage 1 HD and their lightweight flywheel would suit your set-up quite nicely.

^Hey golgo 13....You'd recommend a lightened flywheel for his DD? I've never driven on a lightened flywheel but read that it can reduce (not eliminate) smooth engagements, increase accelerator sensitivity meaning the car gets jerkier, might take higher revs to get going from a start .... I also read the symptoms I noted were amplified with uber light flywheels...6-8 lbs.... I guess the OP should research how light of a flywheel he should get and if it's worth the possible drawbacks...

I have one in my car and it's fine. The Exedy one is like 14lbs? The clutch itself is way more on/off than OEM, but I've had no issues with RPMs on surface streets. (I drive it to work on occasion and to/from the shop for alignments, etc)

Im making 350ft lbs on my comp stage 2 and a comp flywheel (not the ultralight version). I have no complaints with the clutch itself. You will get jerkier low speed driving with a lighter flywheel. Going through parking lots, especially bumpy parking lots full of people and cars, is jerkier. I honestly would probably just stick the oem flywheel back in again next time I have to replace the clutch, and mine was only a couple pounds lighter than stock. After putting in the Boomba racing motor mounts I did reduce that parking lot low speed jerkiness though. To be fair I do have aftermarket cams and deleted balance shafts, so that may play a role. ymmv.

A lightened fly wheel cuts the inertia of the rotating mass of the fly wheel, while it can keep the rpm's from dropping between shifts it also makes the clutch grabbier and rpms fall faster when low in the power band-- so you tend to have to rev the motor a bit more on take offs like in parking lots--what I hate is having to pull in our out of a parking lot on a hill and pay the attendant or have some fool pull right up your a$$ on the ramp-- The oem fly wheel weight makes these kinds of issues disappear.

personal experience

running 500whp + 400 tq for 2 years on ACT HDSS and loved it. Held solid, and when i removed it after two years, it was still like new. Amazing clutch imo.

Im running the Comp stage 2 and i dont like it. It burns up quite easily imo vs how the ACT HDSS worked.
