What is the right Clutch and Flywheel for my application

Let me ask you all a question with regards to clutch and flywheel only (no other mods to achieve my goal). If you were me, what clutch and flywheel combination would you go with?

Driving Requirements:
I like to drag race on the street and in OC there are a lot of opportunities to safely race other very fast cars from 0-70MPH and up. Every one has a Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, BMW and so on. I will never track my cab, just street driving. Since I have several other cars, the Turbo S has only 5200 miles. I need to be quick out of the hole and rev fast to 6000RPM’s.

Noise Requirements:
I want to minimize clutch noise, maximize hook up, and not worry about thrashing my clutch on these short sprints.

Current Mods:
I have a 2005 Turbo S Cab with a Revo Flash and run VP 109 exclusively.

Since you only have 5k on the odo your clutch is still pretty new (depending on your driving). I'd try the EVO GT2 clutch assist delete and aasco lwfw. This flywheel is generally quieter, but its really subjective to each gear box. Some rattle more than others and are thus more noisy. Flashed 24's might actually be too much for the stock clutch (ask heavychevy), but getting rid of the stock assist will give you much better feel. If your stocker cant hold the power Sachs stage II is always a very popular option. Good luck!

If you want to minimize the noise, then stick with the OEM flywheel and put in a GT2 disk with the Sachs Motorsports 999 pressure plate (higher clamping force vs. OEM). As carnerd mentioned, the power assist clutch delete is a great alternative that makes the clutch totally predictable and much more enjoyable to operate, especially when launching from a stop, IMO. There is greater force required of the operator, but you become accustomed to it very quickly and it just feels normal after a while.
