3.9

but a video isn't going to tell you anything...this doesn't change the sound of the car, it changes how the car feels

you're not going to be able to tell the difference in acceleration from a video

a vid won't tell/show you a thing about FD... a spirited drive in the car sure will though!

I compared his pre JWT flywheel to post JWT flywheel. It sure does look like the flywheel make a nice difference in his acceleration! Just play the two of them side by side. Hard to synchronize but it can be done.

well since no real answer has been shared, i did some math for you

Stock VS 3.916

Stock vs 4.083

3.916 vs 4.083


I know it wont tell you you're ET's 60ft or quarter mile... buuut those are all dependent of power and setup.... these graphs identify what mph you will be at, at what RPM, it does not show acceleration, If you want a better Idea of what each final drive will be, please get a copy of Forza 2 for the xbox 360. You will be able to judge what each one will give you, even though its still a racing simulation video game.
