Why not take advantage of the labor involved in removing the flywheel and replace it with an upgraded one, then resell your original? Heavy flywheels are good for maintaining a high rotation for launching. Lighter flywheels are better for changing the speed quickly as they have less rotational mass, better for autocross and road racing.

I already knew that. I have a lightweight flywheel in the car now and was thinking about putting my stocker back in since the revs don't drop as quickly in between shifts. so, anyone know where I can get my flywheel resurfaced?

Ah, okay -- you are going back to the heavier stock one and just want a better balance it seems. Should cost about $50 from a shop that has the correct tools do do this. Much more involved than turning rotors. Not sure of any local shops off-hand, so you may want to start by calling up a few racer friendly shops in the area and ask where they get theirs done. Give Joe Overton a call at his shop. Experience and recommendations from past customers will count for more than just the simple tools and ability.

Re: Need flywheel resurfaced...
while we're on the topic of machining...Are there any good machine shops around here that can bore blocks, shave decks, do headwork, etc for a good price?
Thanks
