Jason,
The pm isnt about prices or anything.
Its just a odd duck question.
I always toss those your way.
Take a look. Youll likely know the answer.

Thanks man.

I forgot how much its actual weight is lighter then the stock...

But that is not where you benifit... You benifit most from less rotational mass...

Down side... Cant really think of one except power steering is slightly more rough at first... but you adapt...

my experience with the tilton street clutch is I have no problem launching the car, and no problem creeping along really slow.

For me, it's harder to do everyday starts like on a green light. Not to say it's really really hard, but it takes a little getting used to.

My dad drove it and stalled it a million times.

I've had my frusturating moments - sometimes you just wanna get around in a parking lot and during xmas time here with the streets and parking lots so busy, it can irritate you at times.

with the clutch/flywheel being so much lighter, it's quite a bit more touchy.

The Tilton Flywheel REQUIRES a 7.25" surface area clutch.



An AT to get a similar effect from a lightned flywheel will have to get a different torque converter installed and the stillen valve body upgrade...

I could be wrong, but I don't think your're supposed to or able to use the UR pulley with the vortech or any supercharger

anybody know if they crank pulley will have any long term adverse affects in combination with an aftermarket amp and sub. Will your battery die more quickly or alternator life be shortened?

Yeah I remember reading a thread where a Nissan/Infiniti mechanic posted a couple of cases with engine damage caused by a changing the pulley.

I've had my UR racing pully's on for 14,000 miles no problem. Loved the power increase and the smoother/quicker revs.
