Not to dis you or anything, but how exactly will an aftermarket flywheel gain you power or torque?

 

A lightened flywheel reduces drivetrain losses. Does not really affect power at the crank, just what goes to the wheels. I believe a lightened flywheel also REDUCES torque, as there is less rotational inertia (I could be WAY off on that one).

I think jwa4378 has replied already to your question. Thats why J's Racing has developed the optimum flywheel (according to my J's Racing whore opinion) which gives a "balanced gain" in the entire field of rpms.

Hope I was understood there with my english.

 

not sure wether you're right or not. .but launching a car with a lightweight flywheel requires more revs because of the fact there's less rotational inertia. the car will accelerate/deccelerate quicker tho, so i guess it's just a matter of getting used to it.

 

i'm curious how would the j's racing flywheel work with the SC'd cars?

 

it would probably work great. only reason i see not to get one on the s is if you're turbo. they operate on engine load, i wouldn't want to reduce load by going with a lightweight flywheel. and also, turbo+flywheel = very difficult launch. there's a very very small line between bog and up in smoke.
