my mods so far are greddy exhaust, k&n intake, and b&b midpipe, and for my next mod im thinking a ACT light wieght flywheel im just wondering if anyone here has it and what they thing about it, was it worth the money, is it still working good, any long term damage?

I had the MS one installed about 4 mths ago and 0 problems with it . I also changed the trans and rear diff fluids as well to Royal Purple . You'll be happy with the mod , the car revs faster the only down fall is that you need to rev the car just a little more .

What's the weight of the new flywheel vs. the old one? Any problems with idle or dropping to idle when pulling to a stop?

The stock flywheel is around 25 lbs and the MS is 6.92 kg with = about 15 lbs. with the counter weight . As for the drop in rpms at idle I have had no problems with that .

Kind've off on the weights. There was an article recently in RX Tuner magazine. Stock unit with stock couterbalance came in at 17 lbs. MS unit with MS counterbalance came in at 15.5 lbs. The Unorthodox flywheel with integrated counterbalance came in at 14 lbs. Should be noted that not onlt is it about weight reduction, but also where that weight is. On the MS & UR piece the weight is more to the center of the flywheel allowing easier turning & less mass spinning on the outer edges.

I have the ACT prolite wheel with a stock clutch. Driveability is largly uneffected. I believe it is a 9lb wheel(by itself not counting bolts or counterweight.) I think the total weight is around 12-13 lbs. One of the best mods I have ever done.

I'm kinda torn over what to do about the clutch, I haven't heard good things about those that have installed higher performance clutches thus far, but yet it makes sense to do both at the same time from a labor perspective.

While I don't intend to push 400whp, i figure a slightly better clutch would be nice to have so I can rag on the car harder. I know there are those such as olddragger who have had pretty good luck with the stock clutch.

OD, how many miles do you have on your stock clutch?

Hey Brillo,
I have 22000. I don't drag my car nor do I do many hard launches. I mainly track it and of course every day driver. No probs whatso ever.I drove Charles Hill's car and he had a performance pressure plate and clutch. He petal was significally harder to manage.
I think if you are not dragging and not planning on FI then the stock setup will work fine.
