whatever brand you get...get a twin disc set up if you are really making that kind of power to the wheels

for street and drag racing get the 28 lb...if road rally/auto x get the 18lb

overall my $.02 is get a standard weight one

Thanks man! Just curious why do you prefer standard weight over lightweight?

,
Lighter flywheel takes more revs to get going but allows for quicker revs ie rev matching and frees up some hp from less rotating mass. Heavier is easier to get going and will keep momentum up imbetween shifts.

I actually bought my Tex for $450 freshly rebuilt by Texralia locally.
