I have read many of the posts and the light flywheel is no a good idea for the heavy duty racers. Are there that shave just a few pounds compared to the stocker. I am looking for more external mods till the motor goes. I have 4.10 gears will this help with the launching of having an alum. flywheel? Thanks...

an aluminum flywheel is good for a street car and a road racer....many drag racers do not use them because they want the built up energy of the heavier flywheel to help launch them hard, on sticky tires.

I have one (from Star), the car is a daily driver & I road race it, so I WANT the added ability to rev up quicker ... out of the turns, etc.

Speed Inc has Fidanza aluminum flywheels for $359.99. That is a great deal I think. I don't know what they weigh though.
Sure would be nice to pay about $50 for new friction inserts instead of surfacing the old flywheel,(How many times can you surface one before you have to buy a new one?),or replace the steel flywheel the next time a new clutch is needed. <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

I was looking at the SLP model... It weighs 8 pounds less than stock. not that much of a different compared to stock but significant. What bran do you have "M3EATER" how many LBS is it?

oh yeah and do you think the 4.10's will offset the cons of having the light weight wheel for launching? Thanks

I had a Hays Aluminum Flywheel from Jegs. It weighed in at 15lbs wheras the stocker is around 24lbs. The Fidanza weighs 12lbs. Cool *** mod for a street racer, sucks at the track even with the 4.10s. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

well thank you again for reminding me what the flywheel does. i think i am just now going to stick with a stocker since most people who like to launch say it does bog your motor. cause that weight is there for a reason, to get those pistons turning!!!

Pedal: I went through all the stuff w/ a lightweight flywheel that is mentioned in this thread. Unless yer doing mundo (MUNDO) hp, then the lightweight will slow down easier. I'm doing approx 400rwhp now w/ my SPEC 3 (stock flywheel) & 4.10's. Love it!
