Since I'm going to have my engine and tranny out of my Fox here shortly, should I get an Aluminuim Flywheel and Driveshaft.

What are the pros and cons?

Are they worth the money?

Mach I don't know much about cars but I have been told that eliminates a lot of weight from the car, other than that :whoknows:

John, if you're spending all this money to make your car fast... you might as well do a little weight reduction to help support your efforts. :nod:

keep it on topic guys...this is a tech question in the tech area....


Mach, like he said, it reduces teh inertia with in turn alows the engine to spin faster.....well actually get to the powerband faster. Definatley worth the money
