2 H/C/I C6s with the exact same combos and both 6spds and same gearing. The only difference being one with a stock LS7 Clutch/flywheel and the other with a fidanza aluminum flywheel/spec 3+ clutch. From a 60-130 roll, will the C6 with the aluminum flywheel beat the factory flywheel'd C6?

Technically speaking, yes. Less spinning mass means less power loss. How much power are you actually losing? Not much. Maybe 2-5HP. Will you SEE the difference? Probably not. Some people claim they see 10HP differences. Maybe. But we're talking the difference of about 0.01 in the 1/4 mile. Maybe a little more... But honestly, aluminum flywheels are the week link in a drive train. Get a chromemoly flywheel if you want it to be light and still strong.

The other side of that is the aluminum flywheel, typically takes a higher rpm to launch as quick as a steel flywheel. I have run both many times. I love the way the aluminum flywheel lets the motor rev and drop off rpm so quick.

I have a aluminumflywheel setup...an I am strong from a role race period...makes a difference from a role for sure if you do a lot of the 40 to 140mph type of stuff

the aluminim is the way to go, make the car MUCH more responsive and does produce a little more power, but it pulls through the gears alot faster.

This is a good topic as im trying to consider what Clutch/ Flywheel etc. im going to get on a c5 H/C/I/E.

I know the aluminum Flywheel is weaker but the question is how much weaker?

SCM CRASH i see you say chrome is best for being light and still strong

I would call Jason at TDP. Me and all my buddy's are using his Stage 3 Clutch and A lightweight 15lb 4140 billet chromoly flywheel and I would not change it to any other set up. Feels stock and still pulls like a freight train at rolls and holds up to 5k dumbs at the track.

Here is a link, Just go to the Clutch Kits link when you get on the page.

Yes it will beat it by probably one or two car lengths. I have a fidanza in my 403 z06.

aluminum flywheel for road racing, steel for the drags
