In have a chance at getting an aluminum flywheel for cheap, would it be good for the street or no, should i get a steel one, i have heard that it ruins the drivabilty.

Also how good is a stock 03-04 cobra clutch???

 

..why wouldnt it be? i know plenty of guys running aluminum flywheels on the street

03 snake clutch is a little bit stronger than a typical 10.5" clutch. It's basically the same type of friction plate with a stronger pressure plate. Pedal effort is slightly higher. Be sure it'll work on your tranny. IIRC T56 and T5/T45/TR3650 have different input spline counts. not sure but it'll make a difference to you.

 

only difference would be from the fact that the less rotating weight on the crank would make it a bit easier to stall because it doesnt have the mass of weight flying around behind it. Other then that its fine, i have a good number of freinds who use them daily.

 

an aluminum flywheel has less rotational inertia than a steel one (lighter and all) apparently, the heavier steel ones are better for launching from a stop(drag racing), and the aluminum ones are better for driving involving a lot of up- and down-shifting (road racing)

 

When I was in school for automotive technology, i asked my instructor about aluminum flywheels. He said he wouldnt recommend them on a stock engine, since it would cause it to rev up way to quick, eventually damaging the engine. He has his own nitro dragster, hes also an engine builder for hot rods, and does **** loads of racing on the side. So Id imagine he'd know what hes talking about.

i think though. It does make it rev up quicker, but I dont think its enough to damage anything.

 

i also hear that you dont get the same effect with your shifts because it also revs DOWN quicker, but i know an easy way to solve that problem . . . .
