rxt Lightened Steel Flywheel vs aluminum flywheel

[crazyrifle]

hay


Any of the too flywheels is best for Street racing and top speed runs?




Thanks

steel is better for drag racing

alum better for road racing - high speed IMO- allows the motor to rev quicker

Steel better for street too. Holds momentum better at low speeds. Holds r's up better at drag strip.

I went with the lightened flywheel and bang my head against the steering wheel every time i go to the drag strip. Steel all the way!

There is your answer. Have you considered going with lighter wheels or brake pads or lighter driveshaft which will give you a little more speed...

What do you consider top speed runs? Instance, your dealing with rotational mass. You can change the DS and get the same effect (actually better) than getting a lighter flywheel. Lighter wheels will do the same. Unless you have done everything else its not worth the street manners of a light flyswatter
Small gear change will also work. Just have to think about what you want.

I had an aluminum flywheel on my '05 GT and never had any driveability issues at all. I think that's a holdover myth from a bygone era of cars.

Nah! It's a law of physics.

I daily drive a 97 cobra with aluminum driveshaft and Luminum flywheel and it's got good street manners even in super heavy traffic.

It's a law of physics, for sure, but the way ECUs are programmed nowadays, the engine doesn't need flywheel mass to maintain momentum. And like I said, I had an aluminum one on my GT and loved it. It drove better than stock, and not once did I encounter a stall.

These cars make so much torque down low that flywheel weight is a non issue.......we are hitting the rear tires so hard as is anything you can do to reduce the shock of a 3500-5000 clutch drop will help the tires stick. I will be replacing my stock '07 clutch and flywheel soon and will be ordering an alum. flywheel.
