Lightened Fly Wheel

[LiquiDCooL]

Is there any way i can get a lighted fly wheel for a 97 firebird 3.8 v6???

and is it more trouble than its worth to make this same year a rear disk brakes???

thanks all, Richard.

our engines are externally balanced, so it would involve shaving/lightening of the existing flywheel. Basically, it's a lot of trouble. Instead, get a aluminum or carbon fiber driveshaft to reduce drivetrain weight.

SPEC Clutches will shave 5lbs or so off your stocker for $150. You might can have a custom one made too - but that would cost more.

Duece Bigg's I think has a lightene'd flywheel. I may be mistaken but Im pretty sure its him. Maybe he could shine some light on this for you. But yea I think Dominic is right on the money.

I got the flywheel lightened then i sold it before putting it on because I thought i was going with an LS1 swap (still have a T56 sitting in my garage). i have an extra flywheel. maybe i'll try it again and see what the results are but i'm afraid to touch my tranny cause the next time i do i'll have to rebuild it and stick a new clutch in it.

As previously stated, SPEC will lighten the flywheel for ~$150, email SPEC at starclutch@mindspring.com for more info

I had mine lightened and it really made a difference. I was surprised. It is a little bit of a pain to get it done, But worth it!
