I had the tilton semi-street combo. It was beyond a pain to drive daily. And if you are starting out on a hill, forget it. Plus it is damn loud. I now have the JWT combo. It is like stock to drive. No noise and can also handle FI if I go that route.

So how much faster is the REV with the JWT/JWT+Nismo when compared to stock?

ACT and ATS clutches seems to be lighter than the JWT but are expensive. Wonder what the the weight of those are.

It is hard to give a number as far as how much faster the REV is. I can say you will notice the difference as you climb through the RPM's much faster. As for the lighter flywheels, you start to loose you daily driving comfort with them. If you are doing nothing but Drag racing they would be great, but for real world all around town and the track performance I think they JWT combo is great.

So look at it like this:

Everyday driving and the occasional track days = JWT

Track & Drag racing ONLY = the ultra light flywheels

Also pay attention to the first hand experience talking;

I am not claiming no noise. There is a slight rattle when you are idling without the clutch pushed in, but as soon as you engage the clutch there is no noise at all. When the car is moving there is no noise either.

JWT, minimal noise with mine. revs like a bat out of hell, but its hard to tell really because the turbo made the car rev much faster already.
