Subject: Re: ZF6 Tranny clutch/gears! by bogus on 2013/2/13 20:20:07 I had the Fidenza... meh... For drag racing, good, for road course, not so good. I am not a fan of it... As much as a lighter flywheel takes off rotating mass/weight, the flywheel also stores torque, so too light, and you start to effect torque storage and launching out of corners gets queer. That's what I noticed... It just seemed to lack that "pop" I was looking for. Drag racing, when you are dumping power all at once, not so bad, in fact, it does help there. I still suggest using the OEM F-Body steel flywheel. It's about 20# after cutting down and is a nice compromise. Before you install it, get it match balanced with your existing DMFW! The DM uses these little weights to fine balance the engine to the flywheel; which is the external balancer on the rear. Not doing this could result is a shit load of vibrations at different RPMs. Considering your background, match balance is the least of our worries.  The other reason? The fidenza is EXPENSIVE... $400+, the Fbody SMFW? About $200. When I build my 383, it will be around a steel Fbody SMFW, neutral balanced because all balance will be internal. |
