seems like an expensive experiment.
I tried pming spec-1 to get a weight and material make up of components but I havn't gotten a response yet.
the regular spec twin is in the 50 lb range, which is too heavy for me.
I need to get the ball rolling on my purchase, scheduled for a race in a week.
I'm thinking about going with the zoom stage 2 twin

I haven't heard anything about it, but it may be more of a road race oriented clutch much like the tilton.
It uses smaller disks for less rotating mass but the disks are not designed to take heat. prolonged slipping of the clutch in normal traffic would kill it. Lots of the corvette guys that run tilton wench their cars onto the trailer to not destroy the clutch.
If you guys are in need of a clutch give us a call we carry all of the textralia and rps clutches in stock,

so i guess this wouldnt be the best idea for a street/strip car? i am trying to keep the rotating mass down on my setup

If this was a road racing car then you do want the lightest weight most responsive setup.

the only time i recommend a lightweight flywheel for a drag car is when the car is severely traction limited and in that case you want to not hit the tire as hard on the launch, rare IMO. if this is a road course car then this is a different story of course
