The factory installs a heavy set-up so a non-enthusiast type individual thats on his cell phone not paying attention can practically roll off the clutch without giving it any gas and have it cleanly pull away from a traffic light. The factory builds cars for the masses...even the Corvette, clearly one with its hat hung on the performance hook, gets somewhat neutered by the powers that be so it's as easy to drive as a Camry. Thankfully, that's why the aftermarket exists in the first place...

If anyone is interested, I have a Spec Aluminum flywheel that I pulled out. It needs new pads, but is otherwise is excellent condition. Pay for shipping and it is yours. Not sure how much the new pads are, but I'm sure it is less than $399 for a new one.

to me it was very simple
aluminum flywheel will let the engine rev up quicker BUT it will also fall quicker than steel. therefore for drag racing i think steel is good, only way on a drag strip with an aluminum flywheel is to power shift and never let of the gas,
that is if we still talking about it?

how else would you run at the drag strip other than power shift?
They work great. I let my clutch out three times and I was used to it after that. This winter I want a 5" QuaterMaster clutch.

you can get MSD box where it will hold your rpm's up at whatever rpm you want for whatever gear you want, it will save your clutch, but still keep the rpm's up between the shifts
