WOW!! That's about all I can say, the car revs so fast, and it puts the engine in it's powerband so much quicker. I highly reccomend a Flywheel as a must mod for everybody. Wether you use the Fidanza or a steel flywheel, it is a must mod.

I agree. The fidanza is a great mod and you will notice the difference imediately the first time you drive your car after install. If at all possible do this mod, a new clutch and the quaife at the same time. Install is very expensive, so it is best if you do it all at the same time.

Did you guys get your Fidanza's balanced? I read somewhere that the factory clutch is factory balanced, but the Fidanza doesn't come balanced? Any clarification here?

Mine is not balanced but it says in the fidanza documentation that it is CNC machined but not balanced. Lesser weight flywheel lesser to worry about. I have a Ram HD it is also lightweight with cheaper price tag than UR. Unlike the SVT clutch the ram is all or none when you take off. Meaning that it has no springs in the kevlar disk. I guess that is a personal prefrence. Me likey.
