Flywheel - final decision - Opinions?

Quote from: "John Hartman"
Id' stay away with the 8 lbs one for a daily street use one.




RRE says it best:

Lots of people freak out about any "theoretical" drivability issues. They are wrong, it's all good. They are not too light for street use, they won't break apart, they are stepped correctly for ACT and CFDF clutches,  On a 80 hp honda you could go too light, but not on anything with enough power to pull the skin off pudding. You will have to compensate a little in your launching technique, a little higher launch rpm will be necessary. Your shifts will be better with the engine rpm now better matching the next gear. These are SFI certified

I had driven a Turbo Jetta with an 8 lb flywheel and it was wierd...  He had it for a year or 2 and still stalled it a few times :)

maybe it was not working right.
