Do I need to have flywheel/clutch assembly rebalanced because of the change to the lighter flywheel? Anyone do this without balancing? Results?
I am reusing stock ls1 clutch and pressure plate. Thanks.

 

I'd love some info too. I'm going to get a ram clutch, and want to know which flywheel to get, billet steel or aluminum. What are the pros/cons of each.

Also, anyone tried RK sports new billet alum flywheel.....looks sexy.

 

Come on pros, my buddy who is a little more akin to LS1s told me to do lots of research before I buy an aluminum flywheel.

Worked fine in my prelude. Will it be okay in a bolt-on (maybe cam in future) ss?

 

I cant stand my aluminum flywheel any more. I will more than likely be changing back this winter.

It is noisier, harder to drive 'normally', it is more finicky in general. It also vibrates more (yes, I had the whole assembly balanced before I installed it).

Stay with the steel.

 

Personally I love my Fidanza aluminum flywheel. Quicker revs, seems to get up and move faster at freeway speeds. Put a Z06 pressure plate and friction disc on it, and had it balanced to .6 grams. Didn't notice anymore noise or vibration that the stock one.

 

How do you have the clutch assembly balanced. the only vehicles I ahve owned with manuals were my jeeps.Never felt the need on a little 6banger
