Light weight flywheel for the race car Options

[bam914]

A friend of mine that I use to race with has decided to hang up his racing helmet and sell off his parts. I picked up this flywheel he had made. It uses a 7.25" pressure plate and the whole assembly minus the disc weighs 10.5#. I will be removing the welded on piece when I balance it.

Bill for an AX car I think you can go too light. Maybe with more modest power it would work well but my 993 has a similar clutch (Sachs racing 5.5" triple plate that is right at 11pounds with flywheel, it is a 997 GT3 cup part) and in 2nd gear if you get any wheel spin at all it immediately pegs the rev limiter and won't come back until you get out of the throttle. While this is with 300+hp, the 993 does have a LSD, 1400lb over the rear wheels, 305/40/18 slicks, a heavy brake and wheel/tire to spin up, and 2nd gear redline is 78mph. If I get them spinning in first, I can spin them all the way through 3rd at an indicated 120+mph with out really going anywhere.

At the track it is awesome but for AX, I think it is just too light.
