That seems like a nice setup. What car did this go into and for what purpose may I ask? I mean you got the deal here. SPEC with the light PP option, light fw, etc. etc.
Thanks!
It went into the Frankenstein pictured in my sig. It's half street and half road race, tipping the scales @ 2850 (yes, LOTS of weight reduction). The engine is an internally stock 2001 Corvette LS1, attached to a C5 T56 with F-body tail. The picture below shows the car coming off turn 5 at Road America at the MFBA Open track event last May.
As you mentioned, I got the clutch and pressure plate here. I did my research, and was actually going to get the flywheel as part of a package, but woke up Christmas day to find a new ACT Prolite flywheel sitting under the Christmas tree. Sooo... I rolled with it. I didn't mention it before, but the transmission was also bought from a LS1Tech sponsor, Texas Drivetrain Performance.
