Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Duratec Performance Best Performance mods I've done

I know I have better traction now, BUT all my races before the mods were close on take-offs 1st and 2nd then falling behind in 3rd and 4th gear.
After installing flywheel clutch and Quaife I was slowly gaining on all of my gears.
Cooler: that?s not the case here; most of our races were in the winter and spring. This summer we are breaking records for hottest summer it was in the 30°C when we raced at night. I think Hotter or Cooler air will affect both car not just mine, both of us have similar set-ups CAI with K&N filters.
Gas, I was using regular gas (87 Octane) from the same gas station (Petro Canada) that I've been filling from for the past 4 years.
Can you explain why the SVT's were designed with lighter flywheel (3lbs less) than the regular duratecs? My explanation performance gains.

Maybe you had bad luck with your flywheel, but it doesn?t mean there is no performance gain. I felt it and proved it by beating my friend.
Maybe it?s the whole setup Clutch and Flywheel, I've heard about a lot of people of having problems with aluminium flywheels and stock clutchs. Did you have an aftermarket clutch on your setup?
