me too, absolutely love it, have one paired up with an ACT clutch kit, only thing I can complain about is a bit of chatter when the a/c is on, nothing unbearable just irritates me when I have to explain what the sound is to passengers 
Really free's up the revs, Al was very impressed with it when he street tuned my ride.

More reviews would be appreciated.
I am planning on an ACT when the time comes, and I'd like to replace the flywheel as well, even though ACTman did not think one was necessary. Hopefully, this won't be until next year...
In my previous N/A Toda-cammed Integra GSR, I replaced the stock clutch with an Exedy and kept the stock flywheel. It crapped out on me very early and never felt right. Lots of chatter and slippage. I replaced the Exedy with an ACT and a new Spoon flywheel and it was perfect until the day I sold it. Of course my initial problems were related to a poor install and/or bad machining of my stock flywheel, but it's nice for peace of mind to take that out of the equation.
<edit>
Forgot to mention I LOVED the lighter flywheel in my Integra, made it very sweet to rev and shift. I was apprehensive since some people complained that it was difficult to launch, but I didn't have any problems. Others have posted favorable experiences with a lighter flywheel, although the stock EVO flywheel is already quite light if I'm not mistaken...

Thoughts?

ACT has some really cool light-weight chromolly flywheels. I called them and asked about one for the EVO and they said since the factory flywheel is already so light-weight they are not going to make one. Anybody have a link to the Fidanza one? I personally don't like the idea of using aluminum for a flywheel (even with steel friction inserts) and would rather have the chromolly one...

Fidanza is a GREAT company. We have been using them for years with great success. Highly recommended.

Couple of questions:
What are the weight differences on the fidanza vs stock flywheel?
Also, what are the potential problems of the aluminum flywheel vs chromoly?
Aluminum may not deal with the heat as well and expand or warp? Are there any chromoly flywheels avail for the EVO?
Thanks,
