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.

you have cars that improve hp/ tq by upgrading their stock clutch?

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?
