Correct. For a 4,000 pound tank muscle car use a steel flywheel. Its going to take a heavy flywheel to get all that led sled moving. Now for my boosted Civic that is only 1,980 pounds the aluminum flywheel has been a dream. Absolutely perfect for my application.

I'm REALLY happy I chose aluminum. My 2000 Mustang GT is now beating cars with WAY more power than I have. My setup is all motor with 4.56 gears and an aluminum driveshaft. I'm beating Z28 LS1's that were dyno tuned to over 500 to the wheels. I have the 5.4 32 valve Lincoln Navigator motor in here and it's a VERY potent machine, even with the little bit it has done to it. If you want to kick ass at street racing get a flywheel and 4.56 gears. It will blow your mind how much difference it makes.

I have an 88 escort GT...I swear the flywheel in this thing is bigger and thicker than a lot of v8's I've run into. Ironically she pulls pretty good for her age and for the tech of the era. Drives great on the street and she's a treat cruising at 80mph. I just keep think that the flywheel is so frickin heavy that it's holding her back. I swear this thing weighs over 30lbs. Haven't weighed it yet but I will after I pull the motor this winter.

I had my rotating assembly balanced by a high end racing shop here in Florida. Of course the flywheel is balanced along with the crank/rods/rings/pins etc.., If I where to purchase an aluminum or even lightened billet steel one, wouldn't that negate the balancing I had done?, I literally had all this balancwd to within a 1/2 gram. Good video though. Thanks.

My car weight is 2645lbs, the engine is a twinturbo 4.6, V8 with no boost lag, full boost around 1700rpm, loads of torque!! Manual trans, 3.73 rear end and approx 25" tires. Planning to swap to all aluminium flywheel becoz the car seems to perform better and better the more light the flywheel become.. The clutch still add some weight on is so i think i´m fine? So far it feels like the weight holds the engine back.. so many theorys, hard to try every combinations.. hmm

Pvulture b I have now dropped the flywheel weight another 5kg.. most of the weight is removed in the periphery and its made of aluminium. I can feel the difference, the response is better. The weight of my car is still the same around 2645 with me in it, and the 50 litre fuel in the tank.. Carbon hood on the way and probably carbon bumper too..And there is lot´s of weight in my wheels to remove! :)

In your experience, has running a chromoly flywheel with an organic clutch been an issue? I'm wanting to run an ACT prolite flywheel on a cammed LS. 3800 pound vehicle. 3.73 posi. 29" tire in a 235 section all-season. It's a weird combination of responsiveness and no traction for when I'm in a bad mood.

Can you supply me with a GM 4.2 Atlas aka Vortex I 6 in lightened billit steel flywheel? If not, can you supply me with an undrilled H3 (hummer) vortex I 5 (3.5 or 3.7) that I can lighten on the lathe and drill out the larger I 6 pattern crank bolt holes with my indexing head? Hummer has a slightly larger and heavier duty clutch. This all aluminum engine with it's 4 large valve, cross-flow, hemi head is destined to replace my >700 pound, cast iron factory I 6 in my 1968 MGC. Please and thank you. Brian Fahey

there is nothing like pulling up to the lights with some clown want to race and giving throttle a quick stab and taking it to the rev limiter in a split second, it shuts down most before you even race . Ally gives better acceleration on on the flats but would not use for hill climb racing like he said you lose to much energy.
