wow thats not very much lol. ill trade ya. this brings up another question if youre familiar. i need a new clutch probly gonna happen this summer. can i get an aluminum flywheel, will it be ok to use and will it make a difference? dang! if i had enough money id just get an h22 and have it installed since theyre gonna have to tear into the drivetrain anyway.

i have a aluminum flywheel........8.8lb. yes it makes a differance, the engine revs much quicker, however makes down shifting useless and you have less time to shift before the rpms drop. just a few down sides to keep in mind. obviously with the lighter the flywheel the worse the bad gets and the better the good gets.
H22s arent that much, you can get a long block for around 1k.

long block is block head usually intake manifold and exhaust manifold.
short block is just the block thats it. those are harder to find, but idk why you would want one, the head is where you make most of the power

haha sorry im confusing myself. i actually know that. as for why id want a short, could it be cheaper to get things separate and build it up. like h22 head then get a header and skunk2 intake w/o having to pay for the stock manifolds i guess.
now as you mentioned about the flywheel, why is down shift useless on the lighter, high revs but falling faster i can understand hence inertia(there's less of it)

nah i would say if anything it would be more money to do that, i mean stock manifolds arent really worth that much.
back to the inertia again.........doesnt have inertia to slow it down, you down **** and you are just at a higher rpm and dont really slow down.

well today i got some time and dug into the manifold and cleaned it a little. its amazing the gunk and dirt that build up in these things. question. is it possible and worth it to bypass the egr valve on the manifold?
