Again wrong info, no beer for you.
As has been covered before, General OEM flywheel weight is 18 lbs. 92-95 CX/VX are 15 lbs.
For street and strip 12-12.5 lbs worked the best for me with a stock or Centerforce Dual Friction setup. The new Action 1MW that Aquafina just posted is the same concept. Slips enough at FULL THROTTLE launch ON SLICKS but maintains stored energy. If the car does not 60' and 330' the lighter flywheel will not gain it back on the top end.
My CRX cam with a Stage 2 clutch and 7.5 lbs flywheel, TOO much for NA or 75 shot on a stock 1.6L. The driveline shock may snap an axle. For Autox the light flywheel is PERFECT yet a PITA to drive at times for me.
That said I have a 10 lb steel flywheel that will go in with a CFDF setup I got with the HART motor. The lighter 10 lb flywheel with 1800 lb car vs. 12 lb and 2100 lb car (both before my fatass!) should be a perfect match.
Finding the perfect balance, few seem interested in finding it. Reread through BigTuna's posts, there are tidbits of hidden info in there.
Heavy PP with OEM disc or OEM PP with stage 2 disc? Both react differently and depending on the starting line prep can make a difference.
The clutch person in the top ranks of NHRA/IHRA is VITAL to the car gets down the track or smoking the tires at the hit.
If you compare some of the big shots intervals, from 330' to 1320' they are very consistent. Getting 1100+ whp planted that first 330' is EVERYTHING!!!!
