R18:Flywheel,Pulleys or Header

I am trying to decide what my next mod should be, I want the mod that will give me the most power. Weapon R header, NST pulleys, or Lightweight flywheel.

breaking in a clutch? your kidding me right?

anyway, where did you get them from?

to OP: if your going to buy the flywheel, buy the clutch with it.. otherwise don't get the flywheel

and what are proper techniques for that?? I had bought the Exedy Organic Clutch & 9lb flywheel on my b16, didn't break shit in, I wasn't burning out right out the gate or whatever but was driving it fast and shifting fast and what not, maybe did some practice launches once I got use to the clutch a few days after the fact. But never had any problems for 2 years (had to get rid of car)

also, turktech, which did you get? Fx100 or Fx200?

I'll be honest, the topic of breaking in a clutch has been a back and forth thing kind of like "breaking in the engine" so.. I don't honestly know, I just know that I can say from personal experience, that "NOT breaking in a clutch" doesn't seem to be any harm for at least 2 years, I don't know beyond that as I said i had to get rid of the car

My dad is a dealer so there is no way I could do that and still have a warranty.

I got the fx 100. It supposedly has the capacity of 70% over stock around the same of the stage 2 but isnt made out of kevlar. The reason that I chose this is simply that they didnt make stage 2 for the car, and breaking in a clutch is very important and is also recommended by the manufacture.
