Default Flywheel

Friends,
I should be tearing open my g/box soon. I'm currently on a stock KEP lightweight clutch which I like very much and stock flywheel. I plan to change my flywheel for added acceleration.

1.Which one to go for?

2.What are the disadvantages? Will the car stall at all somtimes when releasing the clutch when approachin a traffic light?

3.Do i loose out on top end acceleration or speed?

4.Isit noisy?

Bill, we have a pretty similar setup, which flywheel you using?

Thanks.

Unless you have a bump in compression it is best to keep some mass in there. You have lightened up the PP as the KEP is much lighter than stock. I would keep what you have for driveablity.

Sameer I have a new lightened factory 930 flywheel that has been balanced and ready to install if you are interested.

The ride in Alex Ross 996TT ...... was unnerving and has been haunting me since. I am just about ready to put my ride back together and I experienced what 25 years of additional turbo engineering accomplished. I think I want one.
