Need to replace the clutch. I am going with a Zo6 setup and want to change the flywheel to a billet steel(30 lbs) or aluminum with a steel insert(15lbs). Any Thoughts on the subject.

From what I have read....this is not from personal experience...the light weight flywheel will let you rev faster.

This is supposed to give the car a nice seat of the pants increase in performance.

I know my clutch won't last too long either. I am planning on a light flywheel. SLP sells a kit and I think it is the Zo6 clutch with thier clutch.

The Z06 clutches that I have seen come with a flywheel in the kit.

Ahhhhh, The acrid smell of burning clutch mixed ever so gently with clouds of fried rubber. Almost brings a tear to my eye.

It always hurts when it happens. Oh wait that's Jennifer hitting me for doing it.

Go check out the current (March 2003)GMHTP - there's a whole article on this exact subject - and the SLP Aluminum flywheel. Interestingly enough, Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center (ad on pg. 27 same issue) has just started marketing an alumium flywheel that is only 13lbs. - 3 lbs. lighter than the SLP unit!

Best regardSS,

Elie

The SLP lightweight flywheel is billet STEEL not aluminum. That's why it's heavier.

My Star Spec stage 3 clutch & aluminum flywheel weighed 10 lbs less than the stock flywheel & clutch.

I would fully recommend an aluminum flywheel.
