What's the downside of the +.400" thickness?

Will a stock type clutch still work?

If you're doing an LS conversion with an old school trans, Muncie, T10, TKO, Richmond 5/6 speed, etc, the 0.400 inch moves the disc back so the splines dont run off the front of the trans input shaft.
I dont know if the hydraulic throwout bearing on the LS1 T56 can be shimmed back enough to use this flywheel though.

Then that's a great deal if it works with the setup. I don't see it working with my T56, but that's why I asked.
