They clearly have the ability to make some cool parts. I just always worry when I see early release products with all kinds of claims. Same thing when they released billet cam spacers, claiming a measurable HP increase.
I have a 93 coupe w/boss motor (coyote intake) and I'm getting ready to swap a magnum T56 into it to replace my TKO 500 (TKO is great but hates to shift at RPM). I have the iron on it now but also a used aluminum flywheel from the magnum that I bought. This flywheel is a RAM unit and is not...
