Holy run on sentence bat man!
I was thinking about the spec billet steel flywheel myself. I'm not convinced a super light flywheel is the way to go.

I love lightweight flywheels.... only if your road racing and doing heavy autocross. I hate the way they feel on the street and strip. But if you want a good one I would go with Spec or Fidanza aluminum. I just dont like how fast the RPMS drop off and the feel or them.

I use the Fidanza in my wife's Tiburon, i like the steel insert. a 60 dollar replacement instead of the whole thing. Throttle response is better but you have to get use to quick throttle drop between shifts and you need a little more gas off the line.

I've been running a Fidanza flywheel for 3 years now. I compared it to the stock flywheel, it is half the weight. I love the way it feels everywhere.
