M103 Flywheel

[iwrock]

As I understand it, a lightweight flywheel will give you optimal acceleartion.

Now, my question. Does any company make a lightweight flywheel for the M103 trannie?? If not, would it be cost effective to have a machine shop machine a lighter flywheel?? I am looking for better performance from my wagon, and this may be the ticket.

Anyways, Thanks in advance.

The stock M103 flywheel is very light already. The only reason you would want a custom flywheel is if the stock one couldn't handle the extra load of power adders. Were talking 400HP+.

a few more observations,

a light flywheel will allow the engine to rev up and down quicker when under no load. a heavier flywheel absorbs vibration from the combustion process, so diesels have very heavy flywheels and race cars have very light ones. for a street car a light flywheel wont make enough difference to fool with, imho.
and of course in a race car if you can save a pound that is that much less to accelerate decelerate and drag around the corners.

but in a race car you need every fraction, as a race won by 3" is still won.

I thought the M103 flywheel was dual mass. The one that I used to have was and it was extremely heavy.

I'm trying to figure out what kind of trans will fit with my 2.6... It will be running about 400-500hp. I heard the E320 diff will fit, hopefully it will hold up to all that power. Any info you got would be great!

I have my hands on a twincam 6 cyl. I was wondering if this would be a good swap on my 2.6? And what all would be needed to get this done?
