Would a lightweight flywheel help out with a 7AT also... I know we don't have the same clutch pack, but we still have a flywheel correct? So wouldn't it be somewhat beneficial to have a lighter weight one too?


:dons flamesuit:
The ATs use a flex plate which bolts to the torque converter. Typically they are already pretty light from the factory. What we've needed to do in the past with the 300ZX TTs is make a stronger flex plate that will not shatter due to the higher power levels and built ATs (quicker\firmer shifting).

Awesome, thank you. Is there anything like this in R&D right now?

If there is enough demand for it I can easily have them made. However we're talking a fully built trans and a car with forced induction needing to have one, that is if the flex plates are the weak point and breaking. Otherwise you wouldn't need it.
