Which one???

I'm trying to get everything together for my T56 swap and decided to buy new clutch and pressure plate. I want to get one of the hays performance clutch kits but want to make sure i order the right one. would it be the 10.5, 1-1/8x26 or the 11, 1-1/8x26? The car that i got the tranny out of was a 96 Trans am.
I did do a search and i found a thread where someone asked if the 11, 1-1/8x26 would work in his but he was told no. the reason i ask is cause i checked the pressure plate and the flywheel that i got out of the donor car and it measures 11in. Thanks in advance for your help!

this is the thread that i was talking about......

If you're using a stock T-56, just get whatever the stock T-56 configuration is. Don't try to outsmart yourself and worry about diameters, just get the right one for a 96 Trans Am, and be assured that it's the right one.

FWIW the flywheel is 12.8" diameter, so I'd suspect the disc is 10.4". But I didn't bother to measure mine when I did what you're doing; I just bought the right one, and installed it, and it works fine.
