My clutch burned out, i bought f1 racing flywheel and a sport clutch kit, and i was hoping it would last longer then the stock one, and i heard its better and it kinda makes your car faster.. is this true? and does it last longer then the stock flywheel and clutch?

I’m not familiar with that particular brand but I can tell you that aftermarket racing clutches are built to last longer and be much more durable. They are designed to take punishment, but usually the trade off is a stiffer clutch which requires significantly more pedal pressure. I used to have a racing clutch in my old honda civic and everyone who drove it commented on how hard it was to press the clutch down. The flywheel is just going to be lighter than stock so it is less rotating mass that your engine has to turn so there is a slight increase of horsepower.
Faster throttle response perhaps. Actually lighter flywheel eliminates some stored energy and torque. Stock dual mass flywheels cannot be resurfaced easily. I don’t know what lead up to your clutch wear you can easily burn out your new F1 clutch system just as fast. Any clutch disk slip inside the bell housing cannot be cooled quickly. Engage the clutch quickly don’t allow slippage will make it last longer. On 2006 and newer the concentric slave cly. must also be replaced every time. Stronger pressure plate will streighten your left leg too.
It does make your car faster, assuming that it weighs less… it makes it faster because its so light and easier/faster to spin, therefore increasing your throttle response…im sure it does if you treat it right
