I need a new clutch soon so i figure i might as well take car of some other stuff in that area. I am thinking of a lightweight flywheel. Our cars don't have much power and thats just how it will be unless i swap engines so i wana try to get as much out of the 7AFE as I can. How much will the ASP underdrive pulley, and flywheel help power and responsiveness. Also, how much power am I loosing from the clutch slipping? What kind of difference did the new clutch make in acceleration from the old one. Im kinda used to it i guess.

Like Macavely said, the flywheel will enable more power to the wheels - heres the thing, it wont increase horsepower in the engine, it'll allow more horsepower to reach the wheels. Just because you have a 135hp 5sfe (just an example) doesnt mean 135 are getting to the wheels, ur getting less. The lightweight flywheel allows the engine to work less - which is good - lets more power reach the tranny.
Downfall - theres no momentum. I cant think of another downside than this. The momentum of a heavier flywheel will keep the speed of the engine up for a couple seconds, if that. Lightweight flywheels are better for double clutching, if u kno how to do that. -------------------- |
