I'm actually scared to run it. I have a stock rear w/3.73s! Is this thing cool for a daily driver?

My driving style at the track is to slowly let the clutch out and then give gas. So I'm not a hardcore drag racer. I also run on 16"Nittos or BFGs.

So should I or shouldn't I?

please enlighten me.. what is an ST?

I would stay away from an aluminum flywheel on a streetcar.

I'm sorry. I thought that was an acronym for Street-Twin? (Mcleoud)

So an Alum. Fly. is bad?

aluminum flywheel will kill you at the track on launches unless you have a bunch of torque down low...like spraying out of the hole. Daily driving is great tho as it really lets the motor rev. gOOD CLUTCH!

I liked my aluminum flywheel on the street, however, it sucked at the track!

And the twin disk Mcleod is not exactly a clutch that slips easily. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
