Anyone running a 9 lbs or lighter flywheel on their street car making over 400hp? if so how does it drive, and what clutch ,Flywheel and PP are you using?

 

I am using the ACT Pro-lite flywheel with Max Extreeme PP and 6 puck.

Works great, revs freely, just need to shift quick b/c it will loose RPMs just as fast as it pulls them. My clutch has not slipped yet... ~500whp daily driven.

 

I have a unorthadox 8.8 i beleive it is,
i am making 517whp and act 6 puck maxx or whatever

it takes a little while to get used to, no more dumping the clutch in 2nd gear in the burnout box.
it wouldent say its better or worse. just different i dont see the huge benifet with it with a boosted car

 

i have a 7.5 pound aluminum flywheel still in its package waiting to be used in a motor swap if i ever get the damn motor out.

 

8.8 is the lightest chromoly FW that can be bought right?

 

I believe they make a 7.5 or even a 7

brand?

 

Fidanza makes 7.5lb d series flywheels.

 

i have a fidanza. super light. revs really fast up and down. used to stall cuz it came down so fast and guess it doesn't have the weight to keep the momentum. using act stage 4 4 puck. clutch sucks *** but flywheel is good. doesn't stall anymore after tune. guess it must've been a little rich close to idle. also, fidanza has new surface plates which you can replace when it wears. i had some hot spots on mine so i changed mine out just in case.

 

not to thread jack, but anyone have problems with aluminium flywheels?

I ran a 7lb Clutchmasters allumnium flywheel for 4 years w/o a problem. When I upgraded clutches after 2 years I replaced the surface/contact plate rather than trying to have it turned.

 

we have tilton 6lb and 10lb flywheels in our cars. the 10lb with the carbon/carbon clutch. the 6lb i just got with my carbon/carbon clutch. i used to have the 6lb with the ceremetallic in my streetcar. and we also used that in the race car last season.

 

I run a 8.5lb with an Action 2MS clutch.

Feels very nice on the street. Still trying to learn how to drive at the track, so...

platinum.

how much power did you make? aluminium flywheels have a bad rep on here for warping or whatever with high hp cars.

We had an issue with fidanze flywheels, the threads were messed up from the factory and we had to retap them, seems like a common issue when I called and talk to them. Also one of the dowel pins would not stay in on its on, it would slide right out the back like the hole was machined to big.

 

I ran my Competion Clutch Twin Disc on the street for almost 2 years, 7lb Aluminum Flywheel , was great
