The flywheel serves as the foundation of the clutch system, and since it acts as an energy storage device, it also determines the amount of power available to launch the car.
A heavy flywheel stores more energy as it spins compared to a light flywheel.
If your engine and gearing combination requires more inertia or power to launch the car without bogging the motor, a heavier flywheel is advisable.
However, keep in mind that a heavier flywheel will accelerate more slowly through the gears.
A lighter flywheel creates less inertia at launch but accelerates quicker through the gears.
To effectively use a lighter flywheel, consider the car weight, operating RPM of the engine, and most importantly, the gearing.
Insufficient gear will cause the engine to nose over or ‘bog’ on launch.
Compatible with Ram billet steel flywheels are recommended as replacements for factory cast flywheels in high-performance and racing vehicles.
Cast flywheels are not explosion-proof and can pose dangers when used in high-performance applications at higher RPMs.
Compatible with Ram billet steel flywheels are CNC machined from certified materials and exceed SFI specifications.
After machining, the flywheels are blanchard ground parallel to the crankshaft mounting surface, ensuring minimum runout and the optimum mating surface for the clutch disc.
Use steel flywheels in heavier drag race cars or for optimal driveability in street-driven vehicles.
