I have an Unorthodox flywheel with a South Bend stage 3 clutch.

For regulardriving, there is no real noticable difference between it and stock. The clutch is a bit touchy, but has a much better feel than the stock one.

As for the whole "you lose low end torque" thing, those people just don't understand that with a stock flywheel, you need to press the gas down more to pick up some rpms, so you thing the thing has more torque when you are only giving more gas.

Chatter? NONE!!!

The only noise I ever get is from the engine idleingwhile in neutral. The sound is similar to something being loose underneath. I also do not have the sound panel on the underside, so the sound is more pronounced.

The sound itself is actually the small amount of play in thegears in the transmission. The noise occurs because the flywheel does not absorb the "sine wave" of pulses from the cylinders firing.

Be sure to get the clutch and flywheel as a package and not separately!
Also, don't use a stock clutch with te lwfw because the stock one is unsprung. The springs help to deaden the individual pulses of the engine, which causes chatter.

Call South Bend Clutch. LWFW + clutch is cheaper than OEM.
