Spoke to Quarter Master (very helpful guy named Dave). They make an 8.5" double disc model that should fit the QM GTS flywheel I have. Apparently they are updating their web site and many products are not on the site. He claims it's a much better unit than the older single disc that came with the GTS. He is going to verify that the unit will fit my flywheel and call tomorrow with pricing (he guessed it would be a bit less than the 7.25 models). Will also switch to the center hydraulic throw out bearing while I'm in there.

since I am going thru some clutch and fly wheel issues the following weights were measured on my high tech baby scale. these are fly wheels only and are actual.
Ford nodular iron wt.21.25 lbs
Ram alum/steel wt.14.25 lbs
zoom alum/ steel wt. 12.0 lbs
quatermaster alum/steel 11.0 lbs
summit steel steel/steel 23.0 lbs
The best looking and degree of quality workman ship looks to be the Zoom.
The lighest including the clutch is the quatermaster. Since I live a half hour from Summit Racing I am going with what Summit stocks. After talking to the quatermaster people my flywheel and clutch are junk. This info. only.
