Consider getting the flywheel lightened by your friendly local machine
shop if you are performance minded.

I used the stock flywheel (with addition of dowel pins) and a SPEC
stage II clutch.  A friend of mine used to be a dealer and the
performance clutch was a deal I could not refuse vs the rather spendy
stock unit.  I recently had the tranny in my 6500 lb Diesel Suburban
go while parked in front of the garage door.  I pulled it up my gravel
driveway with the 4ktq.  It involved about a 30 seconds total of 6 lbs
of boost at about 1 mph.  Never smelled a thing.  The car still trys
to break your neck if you launch it.
