Hey Carl,
Glad to hear you're finally under way!
I just lightened my flywheel this year, from 25lbs to 20lbs. Overall engine
response is better.
I'm running a Centerforce 10.4" pressure plate. The peddle pressure is
substantially higher than a stock B; though I don't find it too much while
stuck in traffic. (Of course my left thigh is now twice the thickness of my
right. But that's beside the point.)
Don't forget to have the driveshaft wall thicker than 0.060" to avoid those
pesky twist and snaps.
Cheers,
Tim Duhamel

Subject: Flywheels
I am enjoying to discussion on throwout bearings as I haven't bought mine,
yet. Anyone want to weigh in with an opinion of the Tilton brand?
On the subject of flywheel lightening, I would like to solicite opinions
about whether or not to remove any more weight from my flywheel. It arrived
weighing 27.2 lbs. Would another 3 lbs be worth it or even noticeable in
driveabiltiy? It will be attached to a '63 215 factory 11:1 200HP.
Also, anyone running a stock Camaro 10.4" clutch. How's the peddle pressure?
Thanks,
Carl in TN
