Revs go up quicker.. revs fall alot quicker as well.00\' firebird v6 5spd<br />201rwhp ---- 230 rwtq<br />\"Everyday I grow stronger...and further from you.\"<br />WARNING: Do not take any of my comments seriously unless they are technical in nature and then only at your own risk

There is hardly any difference in the way you drive one, and it's not that much more difficult to drive. I've driven Volkswagens that had a 22lb flywheel lightened down to a 7lb, and I didnt have any problems driving it. The little 1.7 8v only had about 100 ft/lbs of torque and no electronic throttle. Half the people on here that diss lightened flywheels have never driven anything with one.

Not sure why you would stall out while driving one, but I guess its possible. Although you do trade quicker revs for quicker rev loss regardless.00\' firebird v6 5spd<br />201rwhp ---- 230 rwtq<br />\"Everyday I grow stronger...and further from you.\"<br />WARNING: Do not take any of my comments seriously unless they are technical in nature and then only at your own risk

ok now i know the car was done today. and well the flywheel is ok but if you dont install it just right it isnt balanced so it vibrates really bad at higher rpms like 4k and abovehelp me build the ultimate sleeper soon ill have a lot more mods than i can list and watch out for the spikes. 02 firebird

would it be possible to take the flywheel to a machinist and get it ballanced or something? it's pretty rediculous to have to do that in the first place tho.Silver \'98 Camaro M5<br />Current MODs:<br />SLP strut tower brace; SLP 1LE swaybars front/back; Powerslot rotors; Hawk pads; Eibach springs; Bilstein SLP shock kit; SLP trans mount; Zexel limited-slip differential; LS1 drive shaft.<br />Possible future MODs:<br />BMR Lower Control Arms; BMR Pandhard Rod.
