I would hold on the flywheel.
At your power level, you will definitely need to take a system approach.
I think at over 600 hp or so they do recommend a dual disk and I think they sometimes require a specific flywheel

Since the OP has an 18 spline, probably this one:

Some good advice - but I was taught 40 years ago never to sit with the clutch depressed.
Pop that sucker in neutral instead and let the clutch relax...
Yep, you would ne correct Ed. Didn't read the fine print. The one you posted is the one I have. Edited my original post, thanks for catching that.

Here’s an often overlooked step, IMO.
take your flywheel and clutch to your local machinist, and have it balanced.
My, whiz bang, SFI Hays steel flywheel and McLeod clutch were “neutral” balanced, but required some work to be.
I have a little ingot welded to the pressure plate, and they had to touch the flywheel with a 1/2” drill to get them corrected.
doesn’t cost much, and it may save you a vibration headache down the line.

I only ask because that might conceivably provide more options for new clutch choices
for someone like me who has the 11" flywheel and bellhousing with the 18 spline...
especially if you're not a fan of the diaphragm-style plates.
Ed my brother and I installed a 10.5 disc ahead of a 18 spline in his R/T challenger that had a 11" fly wheel.
I know he ordered it from passion but I do not recall the brand.
I can find out 1st of the week ?

Silly me, I always got along fine with the stock clutches in these cars (of course, I've never really
had any beastly powerful engines, just the usual "magnum" stuff). Heck, the replacement stuff
from places like NAPA worked fine, too.
I've never had to replace a clutch that wore or got wonky that I installed, just ones I'd inherit from
previous owners that were obviously already shot and I only used "hot rod" ones a couple times.
I remember liking Hays stuff (and I think a Schaefer once?).
