spec flywheel or msds headers?
-- with a specific budget,
-- msds headers - $285 (shipped + Mils)
-- spec flywheel - $375+ shipping (don't know how much yet)
-- i just got my spec stage 1 clutch and will start installing it in about 10 days...

what should I do? spend the more $$$ and do the flywheel at the same time with the clucth? or do the clutch, and headers and forget about the flywheel?...or do the flywheel in a few months (is it worth it?) hmmm? THANKS~!
 
If you've got it open, AND your goals will lead you to upgrade/replace/repair the flywheel at ANY forseeable time within a serviceable life of the clutch... get it now.

No sense in opening it twice, and if you aren't opening it twice, then your goal is shot.

If you are just looking at it as an "it would be nice" thing, turn your current one, prep it correctly, and get the headers. I would vote for that ANYWAY.
 
flywheel too... if you have everything of the car its easy.. if you do it later you gonna swear (if you do it yoursefl) of you gonna swear more (if you have to pay to have it done)
 
well i assume my stock flywheel is in OK shape. so Ray, i just think it will be nice to have it, since it will make the car quicker. but it's more expensive than headers, and...well which one will give me better performance improvement in terms of acceleration? which will be more worth it.
If i don't change my flywheel, i will turn it at a local shop...would that work?
how much of a difference does the spec flywheel make anyway? is it work the money?
