Does anyone have Pictures of a stock 1275 steel flywheel that has been lightened, I'm looking to have mine done but I'm not sure where to remove material.
 
Not the best pic but you should get the idea. I remove the step between the ring gear and the mounting surface for the pressure plate. Remember that mass moment of inertia is a function of radius squared so you get much more reduction in the moment of inertia by removing material towards the OD of the flywheel compared to an equal mass reduction closer towards the ID.

Specific instructions are provided in the Special Tuneing Guide.
 
Anyone who wants a copy send me an email and tell me what it is for, year, model and engine. I got em all on PDF files.
