[Shotimes] Subframe, Flywheel

[bobsteig@att.net]

I have 2 1/2 years experience with the 17 lb ShoShop billet flywheel. I find it 
to be a terrific performance enhancer, while still maintaining good 
driveability. The Fidanza flywheel is significantly lighter and while you while 
you will notice a dramatic difference in performance, the downside is that 
driveability is impacted, especially if you live in an area where there are 
hills or mountains. You'll have to keep the RPM's spooled way up to get the car 
going on an uphill start. 

As far as the aluminum SFB's, I've had 'em for a couple of years and feel that 
you can't beat 'em for responsiveness and road feel. The only possible downside 
might be the harsher ride. Torque 'em down every other oil change or so, mine 
tend to loosen up a bit after a few thousand miles or so.

Also, I've had no problems w/ the ceramic TOB.
