Default Cant wait to see it in action ..

Your car pulls pretty damn hard for a K03 with your franken-chip.

You caught me in the wrong gear last night and it took me a couple of seconds to spool and pass you. It was fun.

Default Yes.

You are changing both ends that are connected to the crank.

Default And the problem is exactly?

My understanding is that changing for an UDP is a good thing if ur running a light weight flywheel - its likely to be more balanced than one without the other.

correct me if i am wrong....

Default I had one on my car and decided to take it off.

Now if you wish you can go ahead and do it but your taking the chance of causing damage to your engine just for a few hp.

Default If your going to make a statement like that...

you should back it up with either reasoning or empirical evidence.

Default I'll actually back Mike up on this one...

it typically is a bad thing to do. Our cranks are not very well balanced. Again, typically you can get away with one or the other, but changing both the UDP and the LWFW more than doubles your risk. You can do a simple search and see that same thing has been found to be true for scoobies, in particular.
