Default Clutch took a **** after >1000 miles. Re-use flywheel?

Right, long story short, I was running a full exedy stage 2 set-up with their 9lb flywheel.

Pressure plate broke, replacing it all with a CC stage 2,3, or 4 (Opinions? its a street car running 200hp, might be moving up to 350 though..). Not sure yet. I really don't want to spend another $200 to get a flywheel..I should be good using the one I've got right? How do I tell if I need to have it re-surfaced?

Also, while I'm in there should I re-torque it or just leave it be?

look for ridges or hot spots in the flywheel. But since it was on there for 1k miles I would definitely have it resurfaced anyway. Just so the new clutch has a new clean surface to set on. what is your setup to get that 200hp? Is it n/a? If this is your daily I would stay away from a pucked clutch. The cc's are nice because the pedal feel is not nearly as stiff as other performance clutches. I went from my act extreme stage 3 to a cc stage 5 and I was surprised at the fact the pedal was softer than the act stg 3.
