NICE! I too am aiming for 12's. Can't wait to hit the strip..

spearfish25 · 02-19-2011, 01:24 PM

Great runs. What are your thoughts on the flywheel. I've been getting some temptation to swap mine. How much more freely does the engine rev?

m4a1mustang · 02-19-2011, 02:14 PM

Congrats! Great times. Fantastic 60' there, magic shoes.

Viera · 02-19-2011, 02:37 PM

Nice times!

red6spd · 02-19-2011, 02:58 PM

Congrats. I hope to hit 12's as well when I hit the track, but the last three times we had reservations to rent Atco in NJ it rained. Maybe next time.

CrownR426 · 02-19-2011, 06:06 PM

Damn!
Why aren't you modding some more?!

tranceformer · 02-19-2011, 06:38 PM

Thanks everyone! When I finished the run I thought I had a 12.9xx - little did I know I did slightly better! Feels good to finally hit my goal.

I highly recommend it, as Jnaut recommended it to me. I actually had his shop install it all the other day. Went straight from the shop to the track!

Atco is definitely a quick track (I used to live in NJ). Definitely faster than Englishtown from what I've heard.

I've gone full bolt ons before with my last Z and wasn't completely happy. This time around I only plan to install the 'best bang for your buck' mods. With that said I'll probably have jnaut install 4.08 gears later on, maybe throw in some solid diff bushings too while he's in there.

tranceformer · 02-19-2011, 06:51 PM

BTW, I'm very pleased with the mods installed. Great job by Jnaut's shop.

my best stock time
13.127 @ 105.27 mph
DA = -421
temp = 54 degrees F

with high flow cats & jwt flywheel
12.899 @ 107.64 mph
DA = 620
temp = 70 degrees F

The numbers don't lie. Even without taking into consideration the DA's I picked up 0.228 seconds on the ET and 2.37 mph with just two mods.

What exactly does the flywheel do for you?

The motor rev's a lot quicker because a significant amount of weight was removed from the flywheel. It really wakes up the car. And as a result SRM works a lot better too. Not that expensive for the part itself, maybe $400 or so depending on which one you get. Only downsides are the noise at low rpm's & idle, that and it might be difficult or pricey to install because the transmission has to be dropped to install it.

What kind of noises does it make? and any idea on how expensive of an install?

Those are huge gains over stock for just the Berks hfc and flywheel. Were the primary gains due to the flywheel or HFC's? Did you do any runs with just the HFC's?
