I know what you're talking about Chest. I had an ACT XTSS in my former car, and that thing would throw out most people's backs. Since I am no longer interested in drag racing, I don't need such an aggressive clutch, but definitely would be interested in a better option when mine finally decides to die down the road...

So you are saying that this flywheel can only be used with a different clutch. Jeff, how is yours different from what a person would use on the street and why is it difficult to use in traffic??

Jeff, so does it jerk when it engages, can you be smooth on takeoff?? Flywheels have a tendency to come at a decent price, but with a clutch, I figure it could be quite expensive. Is it?

I would be interested to see on the dyno if there was any torque loss from this mod. I know it should rev like crazy but torque wins the race.

This is all very good news to me. I will probably be replacing my tranny before too long and i wanted to do as much as i could while it was out.
The only thing thats stopping me from this kit is how extreme the clutch is. Does Tilton plan on making a less aggressive clutch? I really like the idea of this setup, but if they only have this one clutch, i'll probably go with a Jun flywheel and a less aggressive clutch. The frist thing i noticed when i first got the Z was how "slow" it reved up (now, i' know its not slow, but it just feels like it should be faster). I will wait for a this flywheel if Tilton says they'll make a different clutch soon.

We're both in luck!! So.Cal. dyno day is this Saturday. We will see what happens. Tilton claims the curve should show a 30+hp increase in acceleration on the dyno. I plan on testing that!!
