Clutch set for GT35/40 turbo?
I am working on building up my drivetrain for my new engine and GT35/40 turbo. My goal is about 450 rwhp. Will a Clutchmaster stage 3 w/ kevlar disc work? Also looking on at maybe the stage 4, but not sure about a 4 puck disk even though it is a sprung hub. Also thinking about getting lightened flywheel. Looking for something somewhat streetable, but doesn't need to be completely streetable. Tried searching but found little results.

lightened aluminum flywheel and 4-puck clutch equals great fun when driving on the street, especially in traffic. Your calves should get a great workout!
I ran a 6-puck ACT Extreme clutch in my FC awhile back. It felt great when you wanted to punch it, but it really sucked when I got stuck in traffic.
I like the flywheels with removeable discs (like SR's flywheels). If you plan to drag your car a lot, you may want to think about keeping the stock flywheel since the lightened flywheel will reduce centrifugal force (less mass).
You'll probably burn through your clutch discs before a flywheel or pressure plate. ACT makes great clutches (street/strip and extreme), I've only used ACT (as well as my friends) and I haven't heard any complaints (ranging from 60-1 T04 set-up to T66 and GT35/40 set-ups).
I think you'll be happy with the ACT set-up and stock flywheel.

I was worried about the same thing since I just got my motor rebuilt, GT35/40 so since everything is apart now I just went ahead and got the ACT 6 puck, Kaaz LSD, and chromoly axles. That is what Ari recommended anyways.

Seems ok so far…I've only got about 2k miles on it though so, we'll see.
