Billet Aluminum Flywheel Recommendation

yellow rose said

I have no idea what you are talking about but I drive mine on the street every day, with an aluminum FW and an iron disc. My wife can drive the car. It's not eating FW's or pressure plates and I don't have to slip it to get the car to move. Just blows my mind how things get this sideways. Most guys should run a diaphram and a rag disc and forget it.


EDIT: I do not know one single drag racer who wants a bunch of mass hanging off the crank. On my street car, I want the least amount of rotating mass I can get away with, let alone in a DR application.

Excuse me for giving erroneous information in an attempt to save a guy time, money, and aggravation. 35 years of owning, building and driving manual transmission vehicles and I really haven’t learned much, my own experiences were figments of my imagination. Somehow the magic elixir of lightweight flywheels and/or sintered iron discs has eluded all the car manufacturer’s engineers & bean counters to the current date, perhaps you could enlighten them. The sintered iron in the sof-lok is very gentle on steel or nodular iron surfaces and shouldn’t scratch it any more than leather, they might start calling it the million mile clutch.
