I am in the same situation with the trafic thing and my Spec III gives me no trouble. You just have to "learn" how to drive with it.

"Normally" a quality machine shop that can resurface the flywheel can also lighten & rebalance it.

I think what he meant was, there is no spring in the clutch plate, so the clutch "really" grabs hard unlike clutch plate with springs that allowing it not to grab so hard.
Just a Plain SE.

I maybe path914's B**** now, but wait until he needs his clutch done. We will see WHO is WHO's B**** then!

No the Spec III has springs in it. But it is pretty "touchy"

stage 1 would still be more than enough. I know Y2KSVT abuses the heck out of his between the drag strip and nitrous and it still works great.
