pros and cons of lightweight flywheel and racing clutch??

[rinagi]

anyone here can tell the pros and cons of lightweight flywheel and racing clutch??

1. Lightened flywheel

Pro's
a) Engine revs up easier. Slightly higher acceleration at mid and high end.
b) Higher top end when running on flat terrain.

Con's
a) More difficult uphills. Lighter flywheel doesn't "store" so much energy.

2. Racing clutch

Difficult to say as it will depend on the type of racing clutch installed. But generally,

Pro's
a) No clutch slip. Full power of the engine transfers to the gearbox.

Con's
a) Very stiff. Traffic jams will either kill you, or you will end up with one very muscular leg.
b) No "play". Some clutches are either on or off, no in-between.

One of the best compromises I have used is a racing pressure plate, but stock clutch plate. It won't be lighter, but there will be enough "play" to make normal driving acceptable.

No...the reverse. Change the racing cover, with stock clutch plate. Depends on the type of racing clutch you are changing to. This will maintain high pressure on the clutch plate and prevent it from slipping, but in the gear changes, have enough play for the clutch on-off transition to be more comfortable.
