I should have mentioned my Kep1/cup clutch uses an factory flywheel (and has never slipped on my 3L turbo). I can't really speak to how it would feel or perform with a different flywheel.

Well, I have a KEP Stage 1 on the way to me now 
. I have a lightly used 930 disc also so I think I'm probably going to go with that combo. Still undecided on the flywheel but I am leaning the direction of just cleaning up the stock one and calling it good. Thanks for all the input!!

If you have a good machine shop in your area, the stock flywheel can be lightened. My local shop managed to remove almost 5# from my 951 flywheel---that was almost 15 years ago. Many miles and track events later, still works great, and makes a noticeable difference in throttle response.
