Default Another ? on the fidanza flywheel?

How does this flywheel act on a daily driver? I will be putting a RAM Powergrip on with it. Was wandering what to expect.

for the power your car is making a lightweight flywheel is fine. Your car will rev faster and gain a few horses do to a lighter rotational mass. Chalk it up as every little bit counts.


my rule of thumb is:
drag racing+huge hp= steel flywheel
autocross or dailydriver=aluminum flywheel

It snot gonna be very street freindly IMHO. BUT that depends on what friction plate you went with. I had a 402 pressure plate with 910 sintered iron disk and it HATED street driving but grabbed like a **** if you could put up with the horrible chatter. I was using the same Fidanza alum flywheel and stock Z06 rear gears.

I've got a fidanza Aluminum with a centerforce I on a basically unmodded daily driver and I love it. Faster revs, easier to double clutch for freeway downshifts and I have yet to have a problem launching the car.

No problem here. Have it with a spec stage 4 and daily drive it.

I have the Exedy hyper single, it comes with the fidanza alum. flywheel. Personally for all around use it's nice. It feels like the car is lighter because it revs alot faster.

The only thing I noticed is, do to less rotational mass, if I sidestep it in second gear, I really have to rev it up more to spin the tires. Where as before (stock flywheel) i'd just tap the clutch and the rear would get sideways.

(This is all before H/C )

It's a good choice!

As far as the clutch.... I don't know.
