Does anyone regret running a 8lb on the street? Mainly interested in NA but would like to hear from all who are or did run a super light flywheel on the street.

Thanks

I'm selling my 9lb and putting the stock flywheel back in.

 

why is that?

 

I lose too much boost between shifts.

 

hahahaha mechanical advantage rears its ugly head once again

 

How is that??

I had a 9.5lb SR FW and really liked it. It makes a big difference in lower gears and generally makes the motor feel much more responsive.

 

i'm curious about this, too.

 

I don't, but I don't have a 600hp monster either; besides I really like auto xing

 

Less inertia. The rpms drop a lot faster.

I have the aluminum SR Motorsports flywheel and will never go back to anything else. It's wonderful.

 

I have the SR Motorsports Flywheel I'm trying to sell because I'm going back to the stock flywheel.

 

So don't let off as much when you shift -problem solved.

 

I'd like to see you get behind the wheel of a fast car and try to "not let off as much between shifting"

 

i have a os gilkin twinplate with some light wheel (9ish or 11 not sure) and with my bad syncro's.. i have to blip the throtal to get into 3 and 4th or by the time i get it into gear im at 1k rpm.. and it all happens Very quicly

however if i had a good tranny, i wouldlove my clutch

 

I never had a problem matching revs with my 9.5lb flywheel at 17psi. Unless the accel/decel settings are off it shouldn't be an issue. I don't know what you consider to be fast, but remember he is asking about street driving.

 

I thought you asked for an answer , however you already knew the answer... I like the responsiveness of a LW flywheel as well, but if the car is losing traction I have to 'wait' between shifts and I lose boost as well.

So it sounds like I should have no problems with a 250+ HP NA motor.
