Default Should I buy a Toda Header or go with a ATS + Toda flywheel.

I know there is a little difference in the price between the header and ATS/Flywheel comarison....however, what would you all do if you were in the same spot contemplating what to do? I know I should go with what I think is best...however, I was just wondering what your thoughts were....thanks

I have done all three. (Toda header/flywheel, ATS)

If I started from scratch again, I would do the flywheel and final before anything.

depends on what you want to use this for.

JDM FD is a lil more streetable and still helps out in the acceleration dept. for the more weekend/track warrior ATS works out better cuz it is much more aggressive!! not meaning that ATS is not streetable, just that it will take a lil getting used but; but i know once u do it is hella fun

but either way u cant go wrong.

Honda 4.785 FD + Fidanza flywheel.
Agreed...and with the amount that you save you can almost buy the header that you're looking at...

ATS is too short for road courses.

weight is not the whole story.
where 'it' is located is what matters.

this is true. and in that respect the fidanza should still be lighter.

thanks for all the replies guys...I have heard that the Toda was the best flywheel...but maybe not? Also, it sounds like the ATS isn't that streetable...nor good for road courses? why is this?
Thanks again for the replies and keep them coming!

On any sizable straight you will tap out the ATS on the stock rev limiter.

by all means dont take it as me saying the ATS is not streetable, it is very much streetable!! its just that you will have to put up with minor annonyances like cruising at higher RPMs, etc. which alot of us dont really care anyways!!
