Hi Randy,
I'm not sure quoting a different car make would be accurate and apply in every situation. For example, we manufacture 10 lb. billet steel flywheels used for VW 1.8T and VR6 motors combined with a Sachs clutch that removes the heavy dual mass OEM set-ups. There are ZERO stalling issues, most of the stalling problems in late model VW applications that I have seen over the years are the ultra lightweight aluminum flywheels that weigh in the 5-6 lb. range.
To get back on topic: George, I'm not sure I would bother, IMO the money could be better spent elsewhere.
