Flywheel

Laying Down Rotary Law
how light are we talking here?
I just got the ACT streetlight 13.9Ib plus 4 pounds for the CW= 18Ib compared to 28 stock
I've always used the stock ones
but every high HP car that I've read about or seen uses a "lighter" flywheel
so they must have some value...too light is not too good for the 1/4 mile tho
Thats why I got the steetlight to install soon..since I do 1/4 mike bursts

Bridgeport Anyone??
I agree with kabooski, you do not want something superlight because you will drop revs faster and fall out of boost. I just got the 14lb billet aluminum spec flywheel. It doesn't need a counterweight and I can't wait to drive it.

i've got the ACT prolite. it actually comes into boost about 200rpm faster. not a whole lot, but a minor difference. it feels like it gets into the powerband a lot quicker tho. as far as drag racing, i honestly haven't noticed a difference in launching the car. i have yet to bog it while launching the same as i did with the stock one. the only beef i have with it, is sometimes when i go to stop somewhere, the car revs down to quick and it'll die. in my honest opinion, the difference isn't as great as what everyone makes it out to be. i enjoy mine, and don't regret it one bit. the car has a t78 on it btw, in case that makes a difference
