Inertia
Im going light weight on everything that spins making the inertia lower thus putting more power from the engine to the wheels. Down anyone have any information on: 1. Lightweight Drive Shafts
2. 8" Clutches
3. Lightweight Flywheels
I already have on order a set of light rims and tires so i have that covered. Anything im missing that i could lighten up ?

RE: Inertia
An aluminum driveshaft would be sucha nice upgrade!!! Our shaft weighs in at about 44 pounds!! the 2004 shaft weighs in about 23, and i believe aluminums are normally around 15? The upgrade would be a must if they make it.

RE: Inertia
Lets see....
Are you going to use the rear seats? ....... if not Yank them out ....
Lighter springs..... believe stock are heavy.
AC , Radio out !!!

RE: Inertia
Well since im only removing weight from the driveline that doesnt matter with the appearence....Plus removing the rear seat only removes 10lbs, if that.. I did not say anything about removing interior weight.. Do you realise how much power and acceleration is gained by lightening up all the moving parts???? Read before you talk.
