    If you go too light on the flywheel I have seen crank codes trigger.

    Not necessarily no, but just be wary. It may work fine. I guess I can't really say.

    My 6 cylinder makes 1250 lb/ft of torque.
    Where I've usually heard of crank sensor codes is in conjunction with a lightweight pulley set. However, I wouldn't get much below that weight on a street driven car is the driveability becomes an issue in regular stop and go traffic, driving around town, etc.

    Not too hard, but it will take at least 4 hours unless you have a lift. Probably more if you haven't done it before.

    With a 14.3 lb flywheel you will probably be clear of any misfire codes, if you get any lighter than that you will start to see them. I have an 11 lb flywheel, and I have those codes almost permanently.

    A 9lb flywheel and aluminum pressure plate cover is, how do I say it, interesting at best.

    I have the lightweight 11lb flywheel. It threw up misfire codes in all cylinders until I reflashed to stage 2.

    ACT StreetLite FW is just PERFECT for street and those who don't want the revs to drop quick. It weighs 13.9lbs. Just perfect!!!
