I ordered my new clutch today and I figure while I'm in the to upgrade to a lighter flywheel. The question is does anybody know of a company that makes a flywheel for a 4.8 5spd silverado 2wd or if the flywheels for a ls1 fbody will work? thanx

 

just keep in mind that the 5speed wont hold much power over stock reliably so i wouldnt put money into the 5speed

 

HOw do you know?

My buddy(TurboGibbs on here) put down 460ish and 470ish tq to the ground through his five speed bone stock down to the clutch.

 

i dont know , its just every thread that has something to do with 5speeds and power everyone says to swap to a t56 because the 5speed cant handle the power

i read somewhere that the torque rating for the 5speed from the factory was the exact same as the torque rating for the 4.8L

and i wasnt aware that they could be driven hard with that much power goin through them .... ive read many places that the 60e cant handle it for long ( i dont have personal experience with any nbs gm truck apart from my v6 so i will not talk like what i say is truth when it is only what i believe to be true as i have read)
