I have read post about lightwieght flywheels but I am wonder this:

Is a 9 lb flywheel and a Heavy/Hard clutch streetable.
Whats good / Bad about it in the street???

 

The good:
The engine revs MUCH quicker.
The bad:
It takes higher revs to get going, and it's not that great for drag racing.

I've used one on the street for almost 2 years, in 2 different cars, and I like it alot. I may switch it for the stock flywheel for some drag racing.

 

Why would it be bad for 1/4 mile ????
Seems like you could get thru your gears faster...
Also what about a High Grip Clutch.
I am looking to get the setup at www.shaneracing.com for my FC t2 tranny

The heavy flywheel has more momentum. So the revs don't drop alot between shifts. With a light flywheel the revs drop alot more between shifts.

If you're running alot of power I would say go for the street/strip clutch. If you're looking for more than 300 HP I would say to use the racing clutch. The racing clutch has no springs. So the engagement is very abrupt. The street/strip clutch will be alot like the stock one, but it holds up much better.

 

Thanx for the info 13BAce...
I think I will go for the 9 lbs FW and the Street Strip Clutch.
Thanx again

 

You're welcome. You should be VERY happy after it's done.

 

Good choice - you'll love it.
