lightened flywheel or new clutch
hey guys
ive got a 86 NA with exhaust, intake, and a SAFC2, and im trying to decide what upgrade to get next.
i think im trying to choose between a lightened flywheel, and a new ACT street strip clutch.
first off, would a ACE extreme 6 puck clutch be too hard to deal with for streat driving?
i consider myself to be good @ the clutch, but im still wondering if it would be too much of a pain in the ***, and maybe i should go with the streat/strip clutch.
and.. second.. i cant afford both.. my stock clutch is reasonably new, but i want something tighter, (maybe faster acceleration?) would you guys recomend getting a lightened flywheel over a new ACT clutch?
also.. what lightened flywheel is good for s4 NA's?
thanks alot!

I would not do one or the other. I would do both at the same time. If you cant afford it yet, then wait a bit and save up. The thing is that once your down there, you want to do everything at once, so that you dont haveto go there again. So, if you pull the tranny, do everything, such as the seals, bearings, clutch, flywheel, and whatever else you want to maintain.
Furthermore, I dont think you need a 6 puck for an N/A. Your not putting down enough power to justify such harsh driving. The regular ACT S/S with an HD pressure plate will be more than adequate for your application.
I just installed a lightweight flywheel on my 7, and it has really dramatically awoken the engine. The car has taken on a new identity. It revs freer, I shift better, etc...
