I am currently running a 8.5lbs unit. I understand this is not correct for drag racing. So whats best? Stock unit or ?? Thanks,MJ

 

In drag race applications you tend to worry about deflection on a lightweight, aluminum flywheel. Also, the greater inertia that a steel flywheel carries helps with a nicer engagement. The aftermarket steel flywheels can take a little more abuse, as can the factory one(as opposed to Alum.). The hard clutch drops are what hurt the flywheel, but, I wouldn't worry about it too much as long as you have a reputable aluminum flywheel. If you want to be on the safe side, grab a nice aftermarket steel unit.

 

Stock Flywheel bro..............

I had a 9 lb SR Motorsports flywheel and couldn't keep the motor in boost between shifts.

I tossed in a stock flywheel and it made a world of differance.

Stock flywheel helped 60 foot better as well.

 

Thanks guys. I went with the 8.5 back in the day when I was going more for road racing. I always heard the stocker was better for keeping the motor going but [I] was unsure if there was another aftermarket one I should go with..

 

What clutch did you use with the stock fly? I'm really leaning towards a multiple plate clutch for my next setup. I know that using the factory flywheel you used a single disk...

 

I think he used the ACT 6 puck as that is what I am going to be running. I had bad luck with a Spec 3+ and 8.5 pettit FW,

 

Use the stocker dude !

 

1.52 with the stock fly wheel. 2740 lbs.

 

Well I have the 6 puck ACT and stock flywheel (on the way) to go in. Man if ! could only cut a 1.5 60 footer I would be very happy!

 

Look in the kills section under muscle car fun, for the 10.52 launch! Thanks.
