Default Fidenza Flywheel

I have a new Fidenza flywheel and am considering installing it in my 04 vert. I have approx. 5000 miles on the car and was wondering if I could just swap the original clutch/pressure plate with the new flywheel. If it is possible, is it recommended? Will I see any gain in performance? What are the negatives?
The car is a good weather driver, not a racer. But I'd like more performance (don't we all?). Thanks.

if you swap flywheels you will need to take them to a machine shop and have the pressure plate and flywheel balanced together. Basicly you hvae to bolt the pressure plate to the flywheel w/o hte clutch disk and balance it.

Or else will probally get a nasty vibration in your drivetrain

yep make sure to get it balance

as for performance, you might see 2-5rwhp maybe but mainly the car will rev up a lot quicker

It will pick up RPM easier. Still very streetable. Go with a new clutch for the money it is worth it when your in there.
