M21 clutch combos

Hi everyone I have an 81 Z28 with a mild 406 that will be going into it,the rear has a 3:42 and 26 inch tall tires ,it had a luk diaphram setup in it that worked well with the 355 that was in it.
My question is should I stay with the Luk unit which from what I was told is what GM 's came and still come with, and will it take the higher torque from the 406 or should I try another brand name ie Hays Centerforce etc,as well would a lightweight aluminum flywheel serve me better or should I stay with a steel one. The car will be strictly street driven therefore streetability is a major concern and taken on trips as well . Any input will be thankfully received and faithfully applied.

I'd stay with the heavy flywheel for a street car. You'll have enough trouble getting it started from a dead stop with the gearing the way it is, and a light flywheel will just make it worse.
