[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 10024889, member: 11681"] That I suspect is the norm. If you don't NEED the extra inertia for hard drag launches (which also helps break parts) then I really do not understand the attraction of the heavier steel flywheel. We used to KILL for a light weight aluminum flywheel, now that we have a nice one stock, some guys are going all NUTZ with old school drag tricks all over the place and putting heavy ass fly wheels in.:nonono: I fail to see the need or advantage on a mostly street car. The lighter fly wheel car will go up through the gears quicker, the only thing given up is a little launch inertia. On a car that sees lively cornering the reduced Gyro is highly beneficial. A fly wheel has some of the largest diameter rotating weight on the car, it will rob a good amount of power. It's a no brainer to me. Give me a new insert for the stock flywheel(also Mcloud) and plug in that twin disc. Just bed it in correctly, which applies to any clutch. [/QUOTE]
