syncro rev match

speedworks, I think you're right on! With clutch in and SRM on, it holds RPM in anticipation... takes getting used to... I'm still a fan of SRM on the track though, esp helpful when getting used to a new setup, new track etc... an easy way to take out one degree of complexity, and can add it back when you want

All, I have the JWT flywheel and clutch on order from Mike at DDM ! I think I'll be the guinea pig... will report back here and in my car journal once it's done

Travis, it should be interesting to hear the results. Since you have taken this car on the track, I have to know..when you come into a sweeping turn, after a long straight, and the correct line is to just lift on the throttle vs brake, to let the car slow just a little (this is similar to turn 1-2 at NH Motor Speedway), does the car continue at the last speed (as I have been experienceing), or does it slightly slow down. If I was in the car, I think it would probably cause me to spin, as I am usually at the limits at that point - and I think it would be very uncomfortable. I tell you I don't think the fastest way around the track will be with the SRM because of this, it would cause you to enter the turn at a slightly lower speed to compensate for whatever (flywheel?) is causing this attribute.

YAY! I'm excited to hear the results on your new flywheel with SynchroRev.. I just hope that SynchroRev doesn't apply too much gas anticipating a heavier flywheel.. but my logic is probably very flawed.

we'll see... should be interesting... my theory is that SRM is seeking out the correct RPM and that it will find its way there regardless of what forces are at play in the drivetrain... after all, the drivetrain faces variable resistance coming from the tires, in addition to the different forces associated with changing the mass of the drivetrain itself... but, we'll see
