EDIT: I just re-read you garage listing of mods. The EWP and radiator switch idea for DFCO cooling is rad. I have been using DFCO jn a somewhat similar way, and I have seen how much cooling it can produce on long hills. Your mod must really cool a hot engine fast!
the flywheel is 8lbs vs 15 for the oem the pressure plate is 7.5lbs vs 9 lbs oem but i dont know why it is more light besause its not "lightweight" its oem replacement.

i cant use the original purpose of the The EWP and radiator switch because my alt is not rotating but is has been usefull to cool my engine in unexpected traffic or recently because my starter is going away and i have to idle at red lights and this create too much heat ( i am to lazy to remove some insulation) but i replace my starter tomorrow

and just because my starter is going away i am getting more red lights and traffic then ever
