After getting my aluminum flywheel in the car obviously doens't bolt off the line like it used to..that and going from 4.10's to 3.73 didn't help either <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I was thinking about trying this method:

Rev to about 4K at the line......a split second before I launch punch it, then slip the clutch and prey I don't bog or break something (tranny).

I have a McLeod Single disk clutch, Hoosier DOT slicks, carbon fiber d/s and moser 12 bolt w/ 33 spline and 3.73 gears.

Anyone else have a better suggestion???

Good luck, it is tricky. My car was hot or miss with it. I had best results slipping it off the line fwiw. You will notice the car will have a tendency to fall on it's face if you let out just a little bit.

With 4.10s, BFG DRs, I launched at ~3500 rpms. I had a Hays 15lb aluminum FW.

Since you are on slicks, and if the track you go to is well prepped, the car will most likely bog. Compared to running a steel FW you should be able to launch at higher rpms with the AL. FW. given similar track prep.

Arizona does not equal well prepped tracks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

They are always a joke out here. Never prepped.

why oh why did you put in that aluminum flywheel!!!!

all i could say to you is good luck! practice different techniques till you fry the clutch, then switch back to the steel flywheel <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

seriously , with the alu. flywheel it's hit or miss, you either bog or spin, there is no perfect launch. if it hooks and launches good off the line , it will soon fall on it's face and bog ( not enough enertia in the flywheel). so you rev it up a bit the next time , and it spins <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> !!! it drove me mad!

on the positive side your engine is going to rev up sooo quick!

may the clutch gods be with you! <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

If I was more concerned about track racing I'd have kept the 4.10 gears and the stock flywheel.

Wish I had read this post before May 11 at Cecil....I pretty much fried the clutch on my last run...launched great but as soon as I hit 2nd I felt it slip and knew it was smoked...it slipped all the way until about 3/4 of the track then it hooked up again. Added more than a second to my time <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
So do you guys recommend the steel flywheel???
I was also thinking about the Ram 6130 too.
Essentially the engine is stock but I do hope to add a Moser 12 bolt with 3.73's later on.

I had the lightweight billet SLP flywheel and it was much the same problem. Sapped too much hp at launch. Freeway/high rpm running was great, but launching sucked. Swapped back to the stock steel. Much better/stronger launches (until the Z06 clutch fried!- Took all of a dozen launches.)

I figure If I'm gonna be throwing 600+rwhp at an aluminum flywheel with 4.11's off the line there shouldn't be a problem. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
