I have an 04 ecotec and when I get my new clutch kit I wanted to get a lighter flywheel. I am just worried about my car stalling. I really don't want to deal with that too much but if it can be avoided also. I am getting hptuners this summer also, would changing the idle speed higher help it out. just curious, thanks for any input
why would it stall? you're not going to have any idle problems with a lighter flywheel.

All stock...........lol.
It won't stall.... it may come down in RPM's a bit faster than the IAC is used to but upping the idle 50-100 rpm has always solved that for me. (Via HPTuners)
But boy does it rev up fast! lol.

wouldnt it rev down slower? I figured that since there was less rotational weight to slow down the crank that it would just stay in higher revs longer.
I've had mine stall on me once or twice in the past year, but it was at slow speeds/rpm's. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

There is less weight to keep the engine spinning at higher RPMs. You just have it backwards.

Alright thanks, I heard a few people tell me it would stall. Thanks for the input!
Also, i mean i know it will rev up alot faster but how much faster, how big of a difference. anyone got a video. just wanna see.

The compression is the biggest factor in slowing an engine down when you let off the gas. The entire purpose of heavy flywheels is to keep the engine rotaiting due to the rotaional mass until the next power stroke.

It will rev faster with a lighter flywheel. Also being it has less "mass" it is a bit more touchy off the start. However nothing that you couldn't get use to.
BTW SPEC makes a very nice flywheel for your application.

One of the reasons I did not buy another one after mine broke was because of the exaggeration of the stall issue the 2.4 has.
Breaking a flywheel, how does that work?
SOME times, on SOME cars/setups, you may need to tweak your idle speed and some other settings in the ecu to make up for a lighter flywheel causing a stall. PJ had an issue with this on the Skwirl I believe, and I had a similar one on my turbo Beetle on occasion.
