    seeking help (flywheel/clutch upgrades)

    I'm about to do the (complete engine) 6bolt swap, so new flywheel I'm shooting for either the act streetlite flywheel or fidanza flywheel (leaning more towards act because fidanza seems too light.)

    my question is I'm a lil tight on mula atm, so can I upgrade my clutch/pressure plate later on? (I'm staying stock for the first year) mainly a DD with the eventual race here and there goals are high 200's low 300's HP but again further down the road. (or is it a must to get new clutch/pressure plate? )

    Thanks like always for the input.

    Yes. Might need to get the flywheel resurfaced though.

    Yes that I should do all the upgrades now? Or can I do it later on? Sorry 7" your Yes is not clear for me. Ok I'll deffenitly check on about resurfaced the flywheel. Just to clarify I'm going to get the 6bolt flywheel (as its needed) just a bit confused on the clutch part .. Would be great if I can upgrade it down the road.

    Again thanks!

    You can upgrade your clutch components at any time but for now. If you're gonna do any clutch work, always resurface your flywheel.
    Time for another project....

    since your doing a swap you will have a new to you flywheel that you do not know the condition of. so yes a resurface is a very very good idea. also you might want to get a new clutch just so you dont have to do more work down the road.
