LS2/7 flywheel - lighten or billet steel replacement?
I was just wonderring if I could get some advice.
I already have a stock LS7 clutch and flywheel kit, but I want to have a light fly wheel to go with my lighter rotating assembly.
I want to keep as much of what I have already bought, so from what I can see my choice is to either get the flywheel lightened, or to get a lightweight replacement flywheel.
Now I have been warned and read enough to see that the lightening the flywheel can be quite dangerous (take too much metal out and it will weaken it too much, then the flywheel shatters), but has anyone lightened one of these flywheels safely? Is there any guidance as to where on the wheel removing metal is a bad idea?
Failing that I think SPEC do a steel billet flywheel (SP66S-2?) which should be able to replace the stock LS2/7 piece but I haven't been able to find out much about it, does any one know any more?

Ok nobody knows anything? That can't be true.
Does nobody have any advice about how much weight can bew taken out of the stock flywheel?
Does nobody know anything about the SPEC flywheel for the LS7 clutch?
Has nobody lightened a flywheel, or used the SPEC flywheel I am asking about??

Check out my for sale thread if interested, I have a kit for sale and may consider breaking it up.
