Thanks for taking the time to articulate your thoughts. What about your thoughts on clutch and flywheel options? ;-)

    - In all honesty, you can use SMFW with that V8 as it's smooth as silk. You'll never get any - 520 2016-02-19 10:40:17 (373 views)

      - A lighter flywheel does not allow more power (torque) to get to the wheels.  -  ThetaTau87  2016-02-18 10:34:41 (374 views)

        I would use the OEM DMFW and an appropriate clutch from Southbend.  -  ThetaTau87  2016-02-19 10:23:56 (365 views)

        The ideal thing would be to use a V8 FW that didn't need a spacer. I don't know if that would work.  -  ThetaTau87  2016-02-20 12:18:58 (345 views)
        
        Can't we procure the 6-speed euro S6 FW here in the states?  -  JT  2016-02-20 15:31:54 (336 views)
    - Lighter flywheels, in general, will have more torsional vibration as well as more difficult to start - SloopJohnB 2016-02-17 15:13:23 (363 views)

        Thanks. Is this steel and does it mate up to the OEM RS4 clutch?   -  JT  2016-02-18 08:51:45 (338 views)
        
        Pretty sure it's a steel item equivalent to the OEM dual-mass in every way.  -  JediJoker  2015-01-06 04:16:27 (333 views)
    - Neither are of any value in dampening. - berniebenz 2016-02-17 11:04:57 (356 views)
      - Then what, pray tell, is the purpose of a dual mass flywheel?  -  JediJoker  2016-02-18 04:00:08 (344 views)
        
        To better damp the torsional vibrations of a V6 engine. It is only used on the V6.   -  berniebenz  2016-02-22 13:41:44 (355 views)
