actually, you will get hp to wheels out of it. less rotational mass in the drivetrain will put less stress on the crank and thereby giving u some ponies. no clue how much it'll give you, my guess is 8-10 :shrug. it will obviously rev up and down faster (because of what i said about less strain on the rotating crank)

lighter flywheels are cool, but someone a while back lost their car to a flywheel hitting the gas tank, which brings me back to wondering when scattershields will come out. i saw a post on them not too long ago. but NA, i doubt you'll be throwing any flywheels off. go get one and tell us how it feels! :cheers

Where can we get lightened flywheels for our cars...I checked clutchmasters and machv and neither of them carry one for our motor.

I got mine for $325 shipped, I needed a new one so I went w/ a Findanza aluminum.

And just a side note, the Findanza aluminum one is almost as strong as the stock iron one. It's dangerous to shave down you stock one to lighten it, but an after market aluminum one is safe!
