Aluminum Flywheel?


Hey thinking on doing a clutch soon. Will it be good to do a aluminum flywheel or no?

yes, less rotating mass and less parasitic loss in HP

Go for it. I have a Spec 2 clutch, Fidanza aluminum flywheel, and a frpp aluminum d/s in the garage waiting for time to install. Can't wait to see if I can actually feel the difference. Might get some 3.73's and install them all at the same time. Still deciding.

the guys that built my trans advised me against it just because i dont make enough power to utilize it for drag racing. the rotational momentum drops hard with a light weight during shifts, and they want me to make more power before i go to that. thats more for the strait line stuff, if i werent shifting and trying to keep momentum, then i would of done the lightweight in mine.
