hey guys,

im going to have to replace my clutch later this year, and i have searched and been reading about both the performance pulleys, and lightweight flywheels and i understand you can't have both for some reason...

so which is better and give more performance or is better for the car? i want to know because i can get pulley's now, but if you get more from a lightwight fly wheel performance wise then i might as well wait and use that money for when i change the clutch eventually...

let me know guys, im not familiar whth either of these or how much you get from them...

if it matters cause something works better with my mods i already have intake, exhaust, shark injector... and im planning M50 swap!

Actually you can have both, its a front light weight crank pully your not supposed to do with the fly wheel.

But you will be fine with performance pullys which just dunerdrive your accessories, giving more mechanical advantage to the motor.

But the flywheel vs. the Crank pully, I think the flywheel is a much better performance part, its 28 pounds down to 8 thats a 20lb decrease huge :eyecrazy.

I love mine wouldent ever go back to stock.

ok, because i have looked at and read about a couple different things..
- pulleys im looking at are UUC (heard good things)... and the URI but i cant find where to buy the URI pulley from, can someone provide a link please..??

and i have no idea about the lightweight flywheel ive just heard that with a better clutch it can help acceleration alot!!...

what exactly do the LTW flywheel do to add acceleration as oppsosed to the pulleys like URI(if i can find one)

thanks for the help so far
