Neutral Flywheel for 383 internally balanced can anyone recommend a good neutrally balanced flywheel, or light balanced flywheel?? the stocker will be too heavy for the forged, balanced set up,
Hopefully one that doesnt cost an arm and a leg. i know they can get pricey, my clutch is a stage 2.

This thread is a little older but has a decent list of flywheels.

As far as I know there are not any inexpensive aftermarket ones. I think the aftermarket ones are around $400 +/-. I guess if you wanted do the cheap route, you could buy a stock replacement for around $80 from Rock Auto and have the balance shop grind the cast in un-balance weight off it and neutrally balance it.
I am running a stock replacement one in mine. My machinist said glad it's not his legs next to a 6,000 RPM buzz saw. I do not disagree, but did not have the room in the budget for an aftermarket one right now.

OP
you have 2 choices
1. have your stock FW neutral balanced for about $50
2. Buy a neutral balanced aftermarket one
Unless the car will be "primarily" a auto x car, don't go aluminum. I would also take whatever neutral balance one you buy and take it along with your PP to a machine shop and have them first confirm FW is in fact neutral then spin it with your PP and have them neutral balance that. In every case I found both to NOT be neutral balanced out of the box
I was also told by the machinist when he zero balanced my then stock GM FW the same statement Casey noted. he said when he ground off the cast in weight there were no sparks, just dust. With that said I have not heard of any stock FW becoming a buzz saw but my Machinist who does my balancing runs the McLeod sponsored IHRA funny car so he is purely a SFI guy
I run the McLeod billet FW. Ram & Center Force may also make one

Honestly it drives like stock with a spec 2+. My engine builder did it for me so I'm not sure the avearage cost.
Just a thought, if you are going to drag race with high RPM clutch dumps then it'd be best if you used a billet steel flywheel. I saw a car try and launch with a stock flywheel/stock bellhousing and it came apart at the line. Fortunately the driver was ok, but the inside of the car was a mess. Airbags went off and there were shrapnel holes all over the trans hump.

Thanks for the Input SS RRR, i dont want to become a paraplegic because i cheaped out for a factory replacement, i decided to go with the billet steel. Im doing my best to not cut corners with this build, besides the factory paint lol
