my 60ft times and overall 1/4 mile?
anyone want to try and convince me again if i should get a clutch/light weight flywheel combo or just a new clutch.

What do you want from your car?
Good 1/4 mile times, good track/Auto-X times, or a fun street car?
A lightweight wheel may hurt your 1/4 mile times, but I personally think it's more fun for street/track driving. You should be able to accelerate out of corners faster, and no more "hanging revs"

The lightened flywheel will hurt your 60' times, but will most likely have a positive effect on the MPH. I went from a 32 lb to a 13 lb flywheel in my supra and my 60' times went into the crapper. Top end was good, the car revved like a chainsaw, but there was so much less energy stored in the flywheel that I had to slip the clutch nearly all the way through 1st in order to get the car moving.
$0.02 worth. Not sure how that would correlate to these cars, but I'd assume that it's just physics and the results would be similar...

definitely won't help your 60ft times...
As far improving your 1/4 mile times, your car will have a faster mph with it (assuming the clutch doesn't slip). It's just a matter of getting a good launch.

well since i auto-x/track my car i'd like something that can stand that sort of abuse...
i just dont think i'm sold on paying double the money for it. i dont know anyone around the area that has one either, so its not like i can compare their cars. i think i'm going to end up getting just the clutch.
