BTW rolando wtf are you getting a 10# flywheel? I was looking at rx7.com and the lightest they have is 12

http://www.rx7.com/cgi-local/2catalog.cgi?cat=2&part=4

And it costs 500 dollars. You might just want to get nitrous.

I would try billet steel and have someone make a custom alluminum driveshaft. I've heard that the billet steel is a little bit lighter. but you also be able to beat it to death and not have to worry about it wearing out.

A lighter flywheel will not help your launch. The drivetrain needs the inertia that heavy flywheel provides.

Due to the unimproved launch, I'm not sure how it would effect ETs and trap speeds.

try and get a better clutch first before going with a lighter flywheel. Try centerforce or act. i now that centerforce has a lifetime garuntee so if you fry it theyll send you another one
