:banana:I have a question. Who makes the best 3.8 Series II V-6 with the Tremec T-5 on the '95-'02 F-bodies? I am in the process of changing the clutch, and am wondering if the stock one will keep up with the Centerforce street clutch. Any help is appreciated.:banana:

Re: Best Performance Flywheel?

The T5 will grenade it self well before a flywheel will.Comment

Re: Best Performance Flywheel?
stick with the stock one, i wouldnt use a lightweight one in our heavy carsComment

Re: Best Performance Flywheel?
upgrading a flywheel to a light weight one is a very big waste of money.
you might save a couple lbs....but think about it this way....to shave 1 tenth off of a 1/4 mile you need to drop 100 lbsWAWA-A-HOLIC

lightweight flywheels are not intended to save weight on the car, they are intended to reduce the rotational weight of the engine.Originally posted by kristen View PostComment

Re: Best Performance Flywheel?
I would think having a lighter flywheel in a 3700 pound car would just eat a clutch pretty quick. Could be wrong though.1997 Chevrolet Camaro

Re: Best Performance Flywheel?
Lighter flywheel means more HP and the motor will rev more freely.Comment

Re: Best Performance Flywheel?
lighter flywheels will not increase horsepower nor torque.Originally posted by Meemperor View Post
since it is lighter, it wont store as much energy as a stock flywheel, so more gas is needed to get going.
the only benefit a lighter flywheel has is it will allow the engine to rev up quickerComment

Re: Best Performance Flywheel?
Well it doesn't technically "increase" hp, but car will accelerate faster.Originally posted by cam98aro View PostComment

Re: Best Performance Flywheel?
somewhat, but since it doesnt store as much energy, more throttle is needed to get the car going, having the same driving habits will cause the car to bog down when letting the clutch out, but in gear, it certainly will accelerate fasterOriginally posted by Meemperor View PostComment
