Feel free to give me a call. 502.759.1431 I can answer any and all questions that you have.

A lightweight flywheel is not necessary, but some prefer it. I like the heavier flywheels on cars with higher rearend ratios, bigger cams, and engines with power higher up in the rpm range. Certainly neither one will cause any vibration issues. If you do a lot of stop and go driving, I'd opt for the heavier flywheel. You tend to slip the clutch a little more with really light flywheels.

The RST is a very nice clutch, but is very overkill for your application. The thing with a twin disc is that they provide tons of clamping force for higher horsepower applications, but pedal effort is like the pedal effort in a new production car -- hardly noticeable. You will spend almost $750 for an RST clutch...again, unnecessary for this kind of application.

There are plenty of single disc clutch applications that will handle the amount of horsepower you're making and still have excellent street manners. They won't break the bank either. RAM and McLeod both make excellent choices for this scenario. If given the choice, I would stay away from manufacturers like Zoom, Spec, and Centerforce.

A typical slave cylinder/clutch fork setup will work perfectly fine for you and will be very cost effective. Make sure you talk to me or someone else that's qualified to work with the Magnum transmissions as sometimes they require a little modification to match up easily in certain applications.

This is a very easy combination to supply parts for....I do it on a regular basis.
