I get 13.9mpg as we speak, I say its more than my driving style. I'm really hoping the Rev it Up reflash fixes this a little. I go there this Sunday.
After reading this though, I'm about to cancel my appt. and order GM Stage2 right now!!!
7k redline, yummmmmmm!!!

so what, if i do get a flywheel ill hit the red line that much quicker, and ill have a bit more of a problem launching, but on the plus side its cleaner, faster revs....dotn know what exactly that means but you see my point or am i dead wrong, dunno to much about clutches, flywheels, trannies, i just wanna make sure i know all the facts b4 i purchase something. what are the main pros and cons of a lighter flywheel and is it worth it for me to get it, my car will have stage 2, intake, exhaust, motor mount, poly contol arm bushings, i have lsd aswell.

I am fine going off the 241 or so hp GM reports which we assume is based off the stock 205. This is a 17.5% increase. Put that on top of say 225 stock gives you about 265 hp (at the wheels). This sounds like a good number to me for a daily driver so thats why i went ahead and ordered.
