lightweight flywheel
I ordered my new clutch today and I figure while I'm in the to upgrade to a lighter flywheel. The question is does anybody know of a company that makes a flywheel for a 4.8 5spd silverado 2wd or if the flywheels for a ls1 fbody will work? thanx

My buddy(TurboGibbs on here) put down 460ish and 470ish tq to the ground through his five speed bone stock down to the clutch.

i dont know , its just every thread that has something to do with 5speeds and power everyone says to swap to a t56 because the 5speed cant handle the power
i read somewhere that the torque rating for the 5speed from the factory was the exact same as the torque rating for the 4.8L
and i wasnt aware that they could be driven hard with that much power goin through them .... ive read many places that the 60e cant handle it for long ( i dont have personal experience with any nbs gm truck apart from my v6 so i will not talk like what i say is truth when it is only what i believe to be true as i have read)
