What do you use the car for? I have a very light RB flywheel and a 6-puck clutch, and the car is a pain in the *** in traffic, and getting it up onto the trailer sucks even more. It really shines on the track though, so I've been putting up with it since it handles the abuses on the track well. When it wears out I'm going to keep the lightweight wheel but I think I'm going to go to a street/strip clutch, my power level isn't nearly as high as yours and I've gotten much better at smooth shifting than when I started, so I can get away with a clutch that's less abuse-resistant in order to gain back some driveability.

Driveline parts are chosen by TQ not HP, just a heads up.

I have the RB aluminum flywheel and a six puck sprung act clutch, and I love it. Not hard to drive at all as far as I'm concerned. Thats what I would recommend.
