Just finished installing my exedy hyper single. Just the perfect clutch kit I've been looking for. Good bite and shiftings alot better at high revs.
Rev's up faster too

single 6 puck is not fun for DD but Great on Track. Due to lightweight flywheel I had to rev up a bit more; the Rev's quickly come and go.

Does anyone want to chime in on this???? So I have 30,000 miles on my car and I have been reading posts where others are saying the clutch will last 200,000 miles. But the last track outing, on R comp, I felt that my clutch was slipping during this one turn on the track.........Could it just be I am getting inside wheel lift???

No, it could very well be slipping. Mine's doing it a bitch, stock clutch + toda FW is shot. Slow shifting and no bite.
I'm looking at the ATS. Ry, which clutch setup did you go with in the end?
To clarify, this thread IS and ALWAYS WAS about a racing clutch for a racing car, not a street car you sometimes track. They aren't the same thing and they aren't interchangeable.

Now I'm confused!
1. The flywheel is rotational mass on the end of the crank, just like a piston, (worse it is mass at a larger radius). The engine will accelerate faster with a lighter flywheel.
This is really the old torque/hp argument. People with strip machines want/don't care about engine mass as much because because it helps with torque. Wind up a 10,000 rpm rubber band airplane with a .1 gram propeller, compare to a 2 rpm 60 foot diameter 1000 kg water wheel, which one would you stick your hand in front of....
2. The heavy mass allows slow drivers to catch up on the clutch slipping (decays slower), light mass allows faster shifting because it hits the rev match point faster.

it's still too gay to drive like an asshat on public roads. I used to "too-gay" but we just called it "going for a drive" till I got to the track and learned how stupid it was </rant>
No doubt you haven't changed your opinion after 1 year.
