I have ACT Clutch forgot which one. And also the Lightend flywheel...not installed yet. I can tell you the clutch grabs like a dream. Takes a little getting used to.

Lightweight flywheels are awesome after about the first 15-20 starts from a dead stop. After that, you're used to lighter weight and have adjusted how much throttle you need to give it to avoid stalling or spinning the tires.

DItto to what Chris said, I have the Racing Beat Street strip Disc and Racing pressure plate. They are excellent. They are also really an exidy product if that helps.

Cars with lightweight flywheels are a blast to drive. The OEM piece on those cars is so bloody heavy and sloppy.

Tell you the truth. NO. Been very busy and tired. Didn't help that the two days I had nothing to do from 3-midnight I fell asleep. :lol: Lots of stuff going on this week and I'm just tired. I'll probably be half asleep at the BWW meet today. Hopefully have it up tomorrow since things are my scheduel is going to slow down a bit.

Just checked ATC's site and I have the performance clutch and the streetlite flywheel. Prolite is 9.8lbs. That weighs close to nothing. Wow.

I know you're gonna love it. I'm feeling sick cause I only got to enjoy mine for a week. :(
