haha, yeah I threw that out there just to see if you were paying attention

Also, as far as the twin disks go, they can make adjustments to the Spec pieces. Matt at Spec is a guy I talk with a lot, he's an engineer there and can make adjustments based on what you're trying to do, even though he told me I need a Spec stage "P" for Powerglide

Adam's twin turbo cobra. He's from down near Troy. The car is absolutely sick. He doesn't post much but he is an extremely nice guy. I can't remember his screen name though.

HAHAHA Good luck pulling out. The flywheel is way too light for a street driven car. You need to rev the hell out of them to get them to move with a fidanza aluminum piece. Yours appears to be a good bit less.

**Killercanary** · 01-05-2010, 06:28 PM

I don't know about you wick but I don't have any problems pulling out with my aluminum fidanza. I put off getting one for years as I heard all of these stories how they make street driving harder, my launches at the track would suffer, they should only be used in a light car, etc. These have all proven to be unfounded in my car as I noticed no difference with the aluminum flywheel.

I do however think that clutch will be a bear on the street as it lacks a marsels spring as well as the clutch hub springs. It sure appears as though it will be an on-off switch.

**wickedsnake03** · 01-05-2010, 06:59 PM

Paul I also have a aluminum flywheel and have had zero issues with it at all. My cobra has a centerforce DFX in it and has worked great at over 600HP for over two years now, But it was always on drag radials which might have been saving it some.

This summer will be its test with the 15s already on it and the solid going in. If it doesnt live then it will be a twin disk for me.

Terminators come stock with alum flywheels.

Well, as I said, it wasnt my car. It is a buddies. I can say, its real snappy due to not having any rotating mass. He always had a tough time driving it. Now, the last time out, he welded everytrhing together. AHAH Rookies.
