make sure to get them balanced or you will get a really good vib. around 2200 to 4600 or so RPM. I thought that spl would send the flywheel and ls6 disk and presure late already balanced but they were 43 grams off.

I would wait till you have the new clutch in hand and have the flywheel surfaced and balanced with the new clutch at the same time.
