Ok so what modifications do you have, since it's a stage 3 I'm guessing either supercharged or turbocharged and 500-700 WHP yes?

Ok... if you are NOT turbocharged/supercharged then about the max WHP you can make is ~300, but that's full mods. If you are mostly stock, with stock cat back and intake you're likely in the 240whp neighborhood and BOTH only need a stock clutch. Using a higher clamping force clutch like even a stage 1 is absolutely pointless and adds nothing but harshness and extra wear on the rest of the clutch components (CSC/CMS/Clutch lines). If this is the case I strongly recommend you go back to a clutch with stock clamping force, if you don't mind chatter and added harshness get a lightweight flywheel, if you want a more "driveable" experience then get a dual mass flywheel similar to the stock option.

Check out the marketplace vendors for good deals on a clutch, they'll give you a good recommendation depending on the conditions your vehicle will be used in.

Using a high clamping force clutch doesn't make your car any faster and only contributes to extra wear on vital components.

Is there an aftermarket flywheel that is lighter than the dual mass but has minimal to no chatter?

Supposedly this one is lighter and they claim no chatter. My OEM original clutch still seems solid but at almost 157k miles at some point it will need a clutch.

That flywheel will still chatter, unless it's a dual mass at factory weight it's completely unavoidable, I haven't read any reviews on it but I'm basically 100% sure.

Manufacturers basically make the OEM flywheel as light as physically possible while still being quiet, ANY weight reduction induces chatter.

What exactly are you asking?

Your English makes no sense.

And asking a valve cover question in a clutch thread is not going to garner you a lot of relevant answers....
