Question Single vs. Twin Disk For Street/Strip ????

Which would be the best choice for around 500rwhp h/c with 20" drag radials. Also will I notice any better 1/4 Mile time gains with a better aftermarket clutch? Looking to get the spec stage 3 maybe. Let me know what you guys think.

I run a ACT dual disc and love it. If you change your clutch do yourself a favour and replace the plastic GM bearing support with the Monster Clutch billet piece.

This is what the slave look's like when the plastic GM bearing support fails.

Wow nice piece I can really see the difference between the two. I'm definitely going to do that upgrade along with the remote clutch bleeder. I'm going to have to consider that clutch too. Did you notice a difference in the 1/4 Mile at all going from stock?

There are threads on this site that show the hp/tq gains by swapping from stock to our LT1-S, it's impressive!
you have cars that improve hp/ tq by upgrading their stock clutch?

That's awesome. I had no idea.

That's definitely top of the line! It's just a little out of my price range. What about your level 3? I was just looking at that one since it's more in my price range. I see it handles 700rwhp

At the obvious sacrifice of being able to launch these boats... It takes torque to get these boats moving. Rotating mass is stored energy used to help them get off the line. Light weight Eurotrash uses light weight components for a reason. They build small rotating mass motors and spin them way higher than these cars ever see. The use lightweight components since the engines don't make enough torque to spin the heavy stuff up quickly. Thus launches are slow for the most part and they spin the motor to unreal rpm's to make power. Heavy cars need heavier components to keep rotation happening or things slow down dramatically..

Simple physics 101. Dyno queens making a number doesn't necessarily equate to a quick car on the strip.

The lighter flywheel will be faster, the engine will rev quicker and be generally more responsive. The use of a heavier flywheel/clutch that you’re talking about is what you say, 'stored energy' but its benefit is for keeping the engine/car moving which helps with drivability but not with track performance. The engine works hard to build that inertia when it should be working to move the car.

I have a lightweight clutch set up and sure it needs slightly more revs to get moving but the engine responds instantly to shifts and the car is just quicker on its feet. What Steve is trying to say above is, it’s not that the engine is making more power, it’s that the lighter clutch is allowing it to put more power to the wheels rather than soaking it up trying to build inertia.

So for drag racing / street would you guys agree or disagree on a lightweight flywheel?
