so im ready to upgrade my clutch

370guy

I put the Z1 lightweight flywheel/clutch combo in my car and its my favorite mod so far. The flywheel is loud, but it feels like a whole new car now (more power, quicker acceleration and no throttle lag) also the clutch is rated at the same clamping force as the stock unit so it is less likely to have any negative effects on the CSC

I appologize OP shouldn't have said what I did, I was upset and I appologize to the maker of south bend clutches. What I said was unappropriate and they have had a lot of success with our cars. GL

Exactly how is the flywheel loud? I understand it's a fast moving metal part, but why does the noise increase? Even for a stock Z, is it worth the upgrade?

I got the ACT flywheel (18lbs) and the stock is 30ish pounds (cant remember exact) its louder in low rpm's, (2,000-2,500) and the noise is just the teeth of the flywheel. The lighter ones are a single disk and no dampeners, it is louder at those rpm's I mentions and at idle you will here is slightly. Some ppl think something is wrong with the car but there isnt, also, with a lighter flywheel you will have to rev higher to get the car to move otherwise you will get a lot of judder or your car will put out and die lol.

It is louder then stock and you WILL notice it.

It kind of sounds like there is rocks in your transmission at idle. Almost a diesel truck idle kind of sound.
