Testing waters Anyone intrested in a Very light CF flywheel? Came time to do a clutch, excited that i got a ls7 kit to make the car rev quicker to my surprise i had a 1500 dollar setup the flywheel is a good bit lighter then the ls7
i think i will end up selling it all needed is a new CForce pp/disk it held and grabbed like a **** but still drove smooth.

Damn, that first flywheel is $900+ 
UUC has a 20lb'er for about $400. May be worth a look.
EDIT: The centerforce ad that you posted in the last link says:
This leads me to believe that you get a clutch AND flywheel in a combo for $315....Then you get to the end of the description highlighted in black. 
I did some searching for that part number and found the flywheel to be in the $800's. I'd need to see some much better responses to justify the doubling of the price as compared to UUC's flywheel to be remotely interested.

I haven't weighed it but its a good bit lighter then the ls7 flywheel, UUC is fine for a bolt on car since you can only use a stock clutch but a car with FI or so with all the weight this seem to be a good choice on juice the car made 460rwhp 540tq it didn't skip a beat.
But since this is my daily and i need it back up and running by Monday [Tomorrow] i can't wait for a replacement PP/Clutch from CF.
