I don't think you realize the RRE no-name clutch and flywheel are basically the ACT.

 

I just put mine on about 2-3 weeks ago... installing the clutch SUCKED and I didn't get a new flywheel. I just kinda ran out of money. What I would NOT suggest is putting your stock guy back on. have a machine shop turn it first... that way you new clutch won't have to use a burnt flywheel... its just bad news all around... it only cost me like 50 bucks. I am cool with my combo

 

Yeah except during down-shifting.

 

Lightweight flywheels are great for cars looking to see circuit duty. You will be able to accelerate and deaccelerate faster, and it will make rev matching a little easier (heel to toe). If your ambitions are in the form of a straight line, I would stick with the stocker, since a heavier flywheel is better for storing rotational inertia during launches.

 

Thanks, i think this was the answer i was wanting to hear

 

I really can't notice revving up faster but I can notice it going down more in between shifts. I'm still breaking in the clutch though so I haven't been able to really go crazy with it yet.

 

So I'm going to be replacing the clutch soon and I'm just going to put another oem one in there. I'd like to put in something better but I'm not going to mod more than some bolt ons and cams, so that should be fine. My question is should I get a new flywheel now, or just not bother. Unfortunatly I'm still stock and can't do any modding for a couple more months, it's my DD and I have to go to the track.

 

Yep, summed up just right. Even on the Camaros I'm used to racing, draggers stuck with heavier flywheels whereas the autocross/road race crowd always opted for the lighter flywheel.

 

Well from your last sentence stating you'll be DD AND tracking it, i'd DEF. get an aftermarket clutch. It will really save you money in the long run. Especially if you already have to drop the tranny and replace the clutch......while u have it apart put something that will last a lot longer than the stocker in there and put in a SS clutch line, u won't regret it. You will regret it when it's time to replace your 2nd OEM clutch knowing you may have still been on an aftermarket if you'd of done so

 

You guys are making general statements about lightened flywheels like they all weigh the same when they don't. ACT makes two flywheels one that weighs about 13 lbs. (stock is 14 lbs.) and one that weighs approx. 10 lbs. The primary difference between the 13 lb. ACT one and the factory is that it's thicker so it resists warping, it's forged and has the weight removed from the outside so it feels a bit lighter than stock (with regards to throttle response). The difference is negligible enough not to make a difference lauching the car.
