Default New clutch

tomorrow I'm going to Steeda to get a new clutch. I'm a bit confused about one thing. A friend of mine told me go with the billet alum flywheel and get faster rpm's. the other says go with a heavier one. any advice??

the lighter it is, the faster your engine will rev.

However, the lighter it is, the less momentum the engine has and thus a pain to drive unless your engine is making enough torque to compensate. So, go w/ a billet steel version that's SFI approved.

thanks for the input. I was leaning towards the billet steel plus a little cheaper.

true, I took the simple explanation route without attention to the other side of the coin.

Or just resurface your stock one and save your money.
