I went with OS Giken, but southbend is decent from what I hear

I went with Southbend. I bought mine from Joe at Z-Speed. Highly recommended! Top notch customer service. Excellent shipping. I told Joe what my projected horsepower and torque numbers were and we put together a package to suit my needs.

Once again, highly recommended.

The OS is the best you can get, but way overkill for your set-up. If you have money to burn get the OS.

I have not heard any chatter with my set-up. I told Joe I didn't want it to sound like a tractor and he didn't steer me wrong.

It's lighter than stock but not the lightest you can get. No chatter here. That was one of the reasons I went with the Southbend set-up instead of Z1 or JWT. The JWT sounds like a tractor. Email or call Joe at Z-speed, tell him what you're looking for and he'll make sure you get what you need. Seriously, he is a great guy. He called me at 9:00 am Saturday morning while he was eating breakfast just to answer a question I had. Awesome customer service

This is my set-up,

gale is that the southbend metal flywheel lightweight one? on there site?

GaleForce · 02-23-2013, 01:20 PM

This is the one I bought ZSpeed Performance South Bend Clutch DXD Black Nissan Infiniti Flywheel It's 24lbs instead of 14lbs like the aluminum flywheels. Thats the reason why you don't get much, if any, chatter.

I also did the Stage 3 clutch. This is probably overkill for you too if you're staying NA.

I have the 14lb flywheel. It does chatter now that it's broken in. But I love that sound. It's mostly louder cause my car is stripped.
