Default Lightened Flywheel

Is anyone putting in a lighter flywheel along with their new clutch during the SC install? Seems like a good time to do it, but I'm not sure if there are any pitfalls...

Sam will there be any chance of these two parts vibrating against each other? Or any other parts?

These two parts are held together by four different bolts, three on the back
and one toward the front, they are very secured. So vibrating against each other is not possible.

Still no dyno on the supercharger kit + aftermarket exhaust? If I pull the trigger on this kit Im curious as to the numbers I'd be putting down...I'm currently running FI RTPs + FI CBE.

yes all other parts are the same. The SC is not really bigger. it has the same footprint just different internals.

How does the SC change the note of the exhaust?? Or does it change it at all?? If I were not so intent on going turbo I would pick one of these bad boys up quick. And at that price they are practicly giving them away for free!

Would it be possible to put some sort of BOV on this SC kit? It almost sounds like there is one on there now. Every time there is a gear shift is sounds amazing.

It really shouldn't effect the exhaust note at all. There isn't a turbine in the middle of the exhaust path as there is with a turbo setup

Yeah, the Stillen exhaust sounded way throaty with the
supercharger installed.

So I have asked Stillen for this and I am asking GTM about this too. What are the before IC temps compared to the post IC temps? How much of a drop between the two? The effectiveness of the IC is important to my decision as to which kit to get, among other factors of course. Thanks.

i've googled this concern before... essentially you have to consider the difference between the air to air cooler of GTM and Stillen's water to air cooler to decide which would be more effective for your use...

check out these links... or google "air to air vs liquid to air intercooler" .. Bell Intercoolers - Technology and FAQs or ProCharger Intercooling

essentially most everyone would say air to air is more effective for daily use... the only time a liquid to air IC kit would be more effective is if they have installed a huge enough heat exchanger to cool the liquid (but with that thought, ull have additional weight) or use unicorn blood as coolant... thats why i still dont understand why ppl have placed deposits for the stillen kit w/o seeing or getting more info on this particular part of their kit..
