Default Clutch and flywheel performance question

I have a s/c roadster and was thinking of adding a JWT clutch flywheel kit. My 0-60 time is not as great as I thought it should be, will a kit like this help?

It will help a small amount considering you know how to launch. Wider/stickier rubber will make a bigger difference 0-60/quarter mile. The lighter clutch/fly will make a bigger difference from a roll.

If you want better 0-60 times, clutch and flywheel is not the first place to look...

a lighter clutch and flywheel will help with better acceleration once rolling... but you need to lock up the rear tires first on the ground... with the aggressive negitive camber of a stock 350Z you are not making contact with all the rubber, so wheel spin is easy at any RPM...

once you fix the traction issue, a light weight clutch / flywheel will help with acceleration / faster shifts over all..

I can't tell the players without a program (need to see some time slips).

How do you adjust the negitive chamber in the rear? is that a suspension upgrade or adjustment?
