Upgrade SLP to SPEC III

I am using SLP's Clutch package. ie the stock looking disc with what appears to be an LT4 PP with holes drilled in it. I resurfaced the stock flywheel when this was installed.

Can I purchase just a Spec stage III carbon 6 puc disc and install it with this PP.

Will I need a new flywheel or should I buy Spec's lightweight or should I buy Slp's lightweight flywheel?

I mainly drag race so I was hoping to keep the stock flywheel but I am not sure how many times it can be resurfaced.

Finally, would my throwout bearing need to come from Spec or could I just reuse the SLP one?

I'm in exactly the same boat, I currently have SLP's disc/pp with my resurfaced stock flywheel and I mainly drag race it now and want to go with the stage III clutch also. The SLP isn't grabbing as good now after 40 or so passes on it From what I've heard Specs PP is the exact same thing as SLP's just painted (yellow?) I believe. I've asked about using SLP's PP with the Spec clutches and people have said they would work fine, I think some people here are running them too but not positive. I'm almost sure you could use a stock flyweel if you wanted, I don't think there are any differences in the design of Spec's or SLP's flywheel other than being steel and lighter weight. I want to go with the lighter flywheel for the big drop in rotational mass, SLP's is 8lbs lighter, plus I'd feel safer with a steel flywheel running at higher rpms. The first time I had my flywheel resurfaced they took 15/1000 off it which I thought was a lot but it's worked fine, most people I've talked to only take 5 or 10/1000 off at a time. I will probably just reuse the SLP t/o bearing, I've only had the clutch in for maybe 5k miles.
