True dat, The only thing an OEM CI flywheel is good for in performance applications is a v-e-r-y heavy paperweight. I don't care if you've a blow-proof bellhousing or not. With everything that's at risk why tempt fate to save several hundred dollars??? It's just not a case of the bellhousing containing the damage and stopping personal injury. While that crap's banging around inside it's also tearing other other items up too, tranny, input shaft, block plate etc... Why knowingly take the chance?
