How did you get 280 to 315 horsepower without a turbo and Dyno tune? as far a clutch and flywheels go the flywheel only helps by dropping the rotating mass its the clutch that is rated with how much torque it can hold and that varies with different companies. ACT has good clutches and flywheels you probably only need a stage 1 clutch and if you want the lighter flywheel for a bit more horsepower andthrottle response.

act clutch and act flywheels are good. They have different clutches for various setups.

B16A with Toda everything-Valvetrain, Cams and Cam gears, Metal headgasket (0.6mm) and even Toda's 1800cc Capacity up kit. C/R 11.5:1 I had one of my friends help me. We went to UTI, and yes it is possible just got to have everything setup perfect and unlimited budget. I have seen more power than that from a Honda motor.

280 fwhp? then an Exedy stage 1 should be enough. has a great pedal feel and engagement compared to the more aggressive ones. youre getting near its limits, but personally, i dont think the rough engagement is worth it for a higher rated one. and it pairs well with their 9.46# flywheel, esp on an NA motor. btw, whats the rest of the specs on that motor? which cams and what are you using for the intake manifold?

Maybe mine's defective, but my excedy stage 1 is starting to slip and it's only like 7 months old[:'(] and i'm only making around 150 of torque[&:]

youre d series though, right? i doubt the d series is rated as high as the b series stage 1. ive had mine for going on four years, and it still grabs hard, at about 180whp, 130-135ish torque.

305 Intake and 295 Exhaust cams, Skunk2 70mm Throttle body, Intake Manifold, RC Engineering 330cc injectors. Hopefully soon I can get the Toda Sport Injection Kit (basically ITB's)

330 is kind of on the small side for that much power, isnt it? whats your static CR?

Well i kinda though so myself but my instructor was the one who chose them so i went with his advice but my static CR is 11.2:1

why so low? 330s should work out, but ideally you should get some a little bigger so you have a shorter duty cycle, and a little more cushion. hell, i should probably be running about 330s in mine, and i havent cracked the block, and Im still N/A too.

I have been thinking about going a little bit bigger i don't know what size yet but not until i get my ITB's i want to try them and see if i can do some damage on the tracks with them before i go turbo (if i every do) i really hate turbos

With a new lightweight flywheel is it a really noticable acceleration increase ???? im purchasing the 9 pound act tonight and just wanna know what to expect

yea i jus love that high revving tune of a any NA engine. and lilmin if your switching from the stock flywheel you will really notice a difference in how the power is transfered i think you might like it
