I bought an aussie clutch with the aluminum flywheel witch is supposed to give some horsepower per say, I was wondering if the dyno would conform this or is this power just seat of the pants feel because the car is putting the power to the ground more efficiently?
You'll feel it most from mid-rpm punches as with a lighter flywheel you'll lose some of your rotating mass and as a result a small ammount of your low-end torque. so off of a slow roll you might not notice anything.
this coming from a guy who just got a supercharger, and no ive been going to the track to get all the speed out of my system thats why I need a new clutch

A chassis dyno uses inertia to calculate torque which can then be used to calculate horsepower. If you have less inertia used to spin up a lighter flywheel the dyno will measure that as increased torque. Also, I agree with the above, you will notice it more from a mid rpm bump more than from a standing start. Actually, it will be harder for the car to get going from a stop because you won't have as much inertia stored in the aluminum flywheel.
Having said that I run an aluminum fw and it's great. And from what I've been reading you are going to love that combo.
That good least i know my my $1100 will yeild a little performance gain. But speaking of torque I have some LG motorsport pro longtube headers i will be installing with the clutch so i guess that will take car of the low end torque, and hold me over alittle.
