Chromoly flywheels are TOO light. When you start getting a flywheel that is too light, the clutch will start to chatter, the revs will drop too fast and the computer cant keep up with the IAC and it will die. A friend had a chromoly flywheel for about 2 weeks......it was crap. He went with a billet steel one and never looked back.
