Had my flywheel resurfaced while out ,but still have questions

I got my flywheel resurfaced while being 0 balanced today. I want to know if there is a clutch break in, even though I will still be using my old disk till its done.

In other words, does the flywheel need to have the clutch surface impregnated on it before you can really get on the gas?

Why did you have it zero balanced? If you are still running a stock engine, you can most likely expect some pretty serious vibration as the flywheel is what balances the engine. LT1s are externally balanced if you didn't know.

Get it balanced back to stock. The stock engine has in internal front balance and external rear, meaning the flywheel balances it.

And why would you use the old clutch disc to break in the flywheel, only to switch it out later? That's stupid. Just stick the new clutch in there and be done with it. Break in time is 500 miles.

well cause I am running an internally balanced motor. Why question what I have done? Read my sig, it should give a hint.

Are you kidding me? Its not the stock clutch disk, it is spec stage 2 and i cant just throw that out if it was working fine.
