I am installing a viper t-56 very soon.

The place told the mcleod street twin is very hard holding and not good to slip but a lot of people say the dual discs are what makes it so nice. It allows slippage and great holding power.

The transmition place actually said the mcleod could hurt this trans. ! I dont believe it at all.

I WAS WONDERING if i should get the STEEL or ALUMINUM flywheel to go with this setup. Does anyone know about this?

I would think the aluminum would need refacing sooner then a steel one and I think they are both light weight. Would I need a steel flywheel for a supercharged application?

NOTE: I plan on having a blown 396 next year so I am getting ready for that Catch my drift???

thanks guys all info is greatly appreciated...

 

I believe the aluminum flywheels have a steel face on them so I don't think it'd wear down any quicker. If you have the cash and your main purpose isn't drag racing then I'd say get the aluminum flywheel. I haven't heard anyone complain about running a street twin in a street car either.

 

I guess you are right about that! the steel faced aluminum. now if I can find the mcleod kit for less then 1,100 !! ! ! IT IS SO OVERPRICED!!

I am going to post a new thread...

:EQUIVALENT TO MCLEOD TWIN WITH ALUMINUM FLYWHEEL for less....

 

I would highly recommend going with a steel flywheel over an aluminum flywheel. Aluminum flywheels are geared more to cars that are setup for autocrossing.

 

I love autocrossing. I am going to want ot whip around more corners then drag race froma dead stop. if I test my car drag racing a few times its one thing but I want the best drivability. I am still running a 10bolt rear end for weight savings. It will hold up down into the 10's and that is more then what I expect for now. I will almost enver be at the drag strip or have slicks on the car....
