I didn't have the car long enough to really test it much. It felt and left like a stock unit IMO, no drama.

The damn thing cost like $1400 bucks though.

I'd look and see what SPEC, Centerforce, Fidanza, and Hayes has to offer. I know they all make a flywheels for T56 to sbc/bbc.
That's the other thing $1400 on a clutch that I plan on driving several times a week. I dunno if I can do that. Have to think about long term, what happens when I have to replace it, how long does that last. I will check with those other guys and see what they offer. I just seemed like a simpler option to conver to the LS style clutch.
