I'm anxiously awaiting your feedback from the "butt" dyno and "lead" foot. How was your first drive with the flywheel. Noise? Acceleration?

Well.. the flywheel installation is done and i`m very very happy with the results. Throttle response is greatly improved, a very noticeable difference. And I`m not one easily impressed.....with my Revi intake+duct...I didnt notice anything, couldnt even really hear it. My Greedy exaust......same thing, a little noise at high rpm`s but thats gone as soon as you turn the radio on( no noticeable power gains ,not that i was expecting to). i know all these little gains added up, make a little difference but still not really impressed. But if you want a mod that you can feel right away, i would strongly suggest the racing beat flywheel. This along with the RP short shifter is nothing but pure fun. So if your itching to speed mony on your 8 , thats where i would put it. Those two things will keep you satisfied and smiling for a long time. (IMO...ofcorse). if i could aford to i`d buy everyone on this threed one..i like it that much
stock flywheel- around 18 pounds
racing beat flywheel- 12 pounds
cost for new RB flywheel- around $450 ( mine was 360)
installation-$234.00
installation time- 2-3 hours
total -$594.00.....money well spent IMO
pros:improved acceleration through the gears
cons: now all i want to do is drive everywhere and
stupid silly grin wont leave my face

thanks for the feedback. As my next auto cross mods, I was looking at flywheels and pulleys. Mahuna, have you considered adding pulleys next?

i have actually..... but i`m still on the fence about them. i`ve read threads from some people who have put them on, that that in some cases they trip the engine check light.
