well there is an equation to estimate the power gians, its something what you loose through your drive train process then the flywheel being 10lbs lighter so that should equal this and what not, i asked one person ( i forget) who actually had one installed and didn't get a response. The bigger question is if you live where there are a lot of hills i hear you loose tq and hard to get up those hill or when your car is heavy, dont know then i have heard you dont loose tq just rev so much quicker it seems you did. I heard its about a 3/4 hour job to get one in. But i will be following this since i think this could be a great mod.

This is a great mod if you are looking to take some straign off the motor Yes, you'll get a faster rev, the problems with hills is that between shifts your RPM will fall much quicker than a stock flywheel so don't be trying to shift through all the gears while cruising up mount Everast. Is it worth it Yes due to the quickness of the RPMs Will you be able to tell a differance probable not on a Supercharged car due to the fact a lighter flywheel help with low end power the most, and I know my SS/SC allready pull extremely hard off the line at least in first. This will be something that I will be purchasing just wish we could get a group buy on them love those GB's.

Yes I woudn't thank twice about replacing the clutch. Spec makes plenty of great clutch option, the other company that currently make them are cluchmaster, Exedy, and I think centerforce is going to start carring them if they haven't allready.

I would definatly get this if I had a LS, LT, or SS, because of the extra torque of the line, but also look in to a torque dampner, traction bars, or control arm bushings to keep wheel hop down. We put a fidanza flywheel and a spec 2 clutch on my friends cavy ecotec and he started to incounter wheel hop.
