Which Flywheel
Which Flywheel I Plan On Ordering A Ram Street Dual Clutch At The End Of The Week Their Is Two Choices Of Flywheels Steel Or Aluminium Flywheels Which Would Do The Best My Car Is Pretty Much A Street Car And Sometimes Run It At The Track Ive Kinda Heard Some Bad Things About Aluminium Warping? And With The New Street Dual Clutch Do I Have To Buy And Aftermarket Bellhousing? Thanks For The Help Guys Trevor
Aluminum will make it rev faster and is good for autocross and highway runs, if you go to the strip it tends to make you bog on the launch. Id go with steel if you drag race and aluminum if you just want a quick reving street car.
Well, I'm in the process of installing a Fidanza flywheel and replacing the Mcleod flywheel. Talk about a huge difference in weight. The Mcleod tips the scales at 28.8lbs and the Fidanza is a feather at 12.4lbs. THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S A 16.4lb difference.
I don't mind a softer hit out of the hole as the tires like to go up in smoke if I'm not super careful, plus I never drag race so it was a no brainer for me.

If people are arguing about not getting as hard of a hit at launch, here's a couple things to ponder...
Adding a lighter flywheel helps to soften the initial hit to the tires which is tough on driveline and suspension compnonents in an M6 since we can't pre-load the driveline like automatics can. So if not having enough initial traction, or fear of breaking stuff is a concern to you, then a light flywheel might be a good option.
Tosto used a light flywheel and was pulling some bad *** 60's with his car. Think of it like a progressive nitrous or boost controller.
I like the added benefit of the motor revving quicker and having a more efficient driveline.
