Default lighten stock flywheel

Yeah I know the possible outcomes that could happen but what would be an ideal amount to safely take off my y7 flywheel. Sorry for the typo on the title

Don't know the stock dx flywheel weighs but its heavy as Nell Carter! I know machining too much material off of it will leave it shatter prone. Mista Boe knows all! Damn Gurus! What are those burn marks on the flywheel though?

That is the back side of the flywheel. What you see is the 6 bolt holes and balancing holes.

All you are seeing is clutch dust.......not much compared to what it looked like last weekend when I dropped the tranny!!!!!!!!!
