I'm getting ready to order a clutch and flywheel for my Dart and am trying to decide what to go with. What flywheel and clutch setup are you guys using and what kind of ET's and 60' are you getting with them? This will be mostly for track use with limited street use.

McLeod Soft Lok, 12# aluminum flywheel. 3430lb car, has gone 1.37 60'. Bought the clutch from McLeod but it has since been reworked by Tim Hyatt, and it's the best money spent since buying the clutch.

McLeod/Hyatt soflok also w/best of 1.35 60' in the barracuda. Had a aluminum flywheel but kept warping the steel insert on the flywheel and on the pressure ring (aluminum pressure ring with steel facing riveted). I generally run 2 classes so lots of hot lapping and the steel facings would 'potato chip' so it was getting expensive to replace those. So went back to a steel flywheel with a steel pressure ring which saved money and the car was more reliable/predictable. The aluminum parts save weight but the difference is not that great. Also I figured I don't get paid to go faster by .01. I would get away from the OEM flywheel and get an SFI FW. You can get the steel fw lightened. W/r to size, some of that depends on the bellhousing. If you have a lakewood (which I think they don't make now that they bought quicktime) then you can use 143t fw and get a bigger clutch. If you are using a quicktime then you're stuck with the 130t and a 10" clutch. It works OK for me, but don't really like the quicktime except it is about 20lbs lighter than the lakewood.

How about the 9.5" multi plates with alum FW?
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
