Congrats! Make sure most if not all the counted 500 miles are city or stop and go.

The 18lb flywheel is great, it will take a little getting used to when starting from a stop. 1st and 2nd gear will go by much quicker now.

Depends. It would sure make it a lot easier for the few minutes of unbolting them. I did mine with stock manifolds in place though as I didn't want to strip a bolt until I had headers to go in their place.

You may need to have the car tuned for that light of a flywheel so it doesnt affect driveability.
