Aussi clutch first thoughts
Well the clutch install is done. (Wasn't as bad as i thought) The clutch grabs great. There was a little bit of chatter for about the first 20 miles but it has almost gone away all together. The only issue i had was crossing the front two O2's 
but other than that it was an easy install.

Sweet! Lets go abuse it now!! I still plan to take the Viper down to PIR Late Nites this Friday night. I just might have the meth inj kit and 12lb pulley installed onto the supercharger in time, too. I have a feeling I will only get one run in then get tossed fromt the track for no cage. Can you make it?!?!
Yah, I really like the Aussie clutch. I've installed a couple already and my customer's love it. How does that billet flywheel feel?

It feels great. The clutch ingages just off the floor and that was what i was looking for. I was suposed to have this Friday off but i got roped in to working, but i will be out this saturday to beat it up a little. I can not wait to get this thing tuned, im thinking 11.90's are in my future.

After talking to my resident C5 GuRu (rwj383 Gen3motorsports) I went with the Steel Billet flywheel I was very suprised on how much lighter it was than the stock one. Im not sure how much lighter maybe RWJ can give us some insight. I do alot more drag racing than enything else, and if i want to get in to the X cross this will work well for me also.

Do you notice any faster revs with the lighter flywheel?? I was told it would rev faster and I know it should due to less rotational mass..
Just wondering about actual info.. hehe
thanks

stock LS1/LS6 iron flywheel = 24 lbs
Billet steel Aussie = 17 lbs
Fidenza aluminum = 10 lbs
The lighter the flywheel, the less I-omega intertial losses = faster revving. Great for track cars, not as great for drag racers. Drag racers benefit more on launches from the inertial force of a heavier flywheel during high RPM launch. The billet steel is a healthy compromise. I have the same type billet steel flywheel with my Exedy Twin Disc clutch in my vette. awesome flywheel.

Damn I wish that flywheel were available when I put in my aussie--but to tell the truth I have grown to love the heavy flywheel again for daily driving I had used a light one so long I had forgotten how much easier the car drove in day to day stuff---I love my aussie clutch and for the first time in years I never even give the clutch a second thought as opposed to wondering how long this one will last--and this clutch drives every bit as good as my exedy dual which lasted about 3000 easy street miles and ended up with bare disk--
