clutch and light weight flywheel

[NUMBER 1 STUNNER]

i was interested in up grading my clutch and flywheel with a performance clutch and a light weight flywheel what will it do for my ride

Rev quicker and grab better.

a little faster acceleration, and the ability to put more power to the ground.

However if you are looking to launch the car, say for drag racing, it will work against you. The lightweight flywheel will lose it's momentum (sp?) when you drop the clutch.

I'm not saying don't do it, cause I have one in my car, and I love it, but it depends on what you want to do. Launch or not...

not quite... the rpms that you'd be revving to on the launch would help the lightweight gain a ton of inertia to help you take off. Plus in drag racing (any kind of racing really....), shock load is what kills parts. so heavier rotating assy. = more inertia. more inertia = more shock load, which could just make you spin the wheels upon green, or break stuff.

 

plus IF it would help you on launch, it would RAPE you while shifting... ten minutes in between shifts to drop revvs would kill 1/4 mile times.

depends on what tires you are running. No matter how you take off your going to spin. Light flywheel will cause you to bog down though

you will have alot of fun with it on the streets man

[Midnight civic]

O ya lightweight flywheels are alot of fun on the street. makes you car sound alot more agressive... with not having really anything done to it. When your car revs fast people think there is more than there really is..

My car revs fast, it just doesnt go anywhere...

lol sounds like you have some issues
