Default What does a stock LS7 flywheel weigh?

I'm looking at going with the LS7 clutch. The stock LS1 flywheel weighs 24 pounds, what about the LS7 flywheel? Does anyone know?

Nobody knows this? Is it the same as the stock 24 pounder?

No the LS1 stocker is 24. I'm just wondering what the LS2/LS7 flywheel weighs?

I would say a hair more considering its a 12" flywheel as opposed to the ls1 11".

Well, it's a step in the wrong direction being 2.4 pounds heavier than the LS1 stock flywheel, but at least it weighs less than the 29 pound forged CF flywheel I'm taking out.

Unfortunately since it's a inch bigger in diameter, it's gonna act like it's even heavier. I'm still probably gonna go with one also though.

Unfortunately, that did cross my mind, the inertia goes up by the square of the radius. However, the LS1 must be the same outside diameter, because of the ring gear must still mate with the starter. So it's not as bad as it could be.
