Default Flywheels

Does it really help to change it out for a lighter one or is the one we have good enough?

Just thought I would ask. Also does anyone make after-market flywheels for our motors?

Default Re: Flywheels

Automatics have flexplates not flywheels so a lightweight flywheel(manual transmissions) would not help you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

What you want is a lightweight/higher stall torque converter. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
