Reply to "AFD Alum heads"

Kevin,
An Aluminum flywheel is totally different than what your probably used too.
Whereas the cast iron flywheel produces that grunt torq, squat and go feeling.....
The aluminum one is lighter feeling. Doesn't have that hard grunt and go feeling.
It rev's up much faster, is smoother getting to speed and you don't lose as many RPM's when being on it and shifting from gear to gear.
With my old iron flywheel, running the tach to 6 grand and going into the next gear while staying on it, my RPM's would drop from 6 to just under 4. With the alum one, it will drop to about 4200 and then rev back up to 6 in a heart beat.
Without the grunt and go feeling, you think your not going as fast, but as I'm getting used to the feeling of it, I'm realizing that I am actually going just as fast but getting there quicker.
I would say it changes the performance from being a 1/4 mile type car to being a road racing track car. And if I want, I can still break the 335's loose without much of a problem off the line. Which I rarely ever do.
Takes a little more gas to get rolling, but no big deal.
Next time I'm into it, I will however replace the clutch disc with the double sided carbon fiber one.
Hope that helps brother......
