suggestions? i might as well put one in while the engine is out of the car.



i would like one that is lightend vs stock because the stock one looks really heavy. but not one so light that its hard to drive daily. thank you.

i have found good luck with a 12 pound flywheel on the turbo motors, good all around performance gains. i have used the mazdatrix steel wheel on the na motor and now am using the act street light wheel on the turbo motor

I have used the RB AL Flywheel, liked it a lot. I now have a lighter Quartermaster to go with the twin disc setup.



You need to take into account the whole flywheel clutch package

Was the car flat on it's face or just mediocre at launch?



I have the ligher steel flywheel, and it seems mediocre now.

lol, I used launch for lack of a better term, I don't drag race either I just wondered if I would have been better off with the AL flywheel as opposed to the steel.

I believe steel is easier to drive.
