First off, yes I've searched the forum and read all the threads I could find about this topic on here and other forums, but I'm still unsure and want more specific info/opinions. The new 6 bolt motor is getting ready to go in and, obviously, I have to change the flywheel to a 6 bolt. I'm really torn between the ACT and Fidanza. I had/have the 7 bolt Fidanza on the original 7 bolt before it crapped out and while the acceleration was nice it could get frustrating/dicey in heavy traffic or when having to stop fast (car would shut off). As stated in other posts, my car is going to be a DD FIRST and a weekend/hobby track car second so I would like to tow the line of better DD closer than what's best for the track. I know that guys are DD Fidanza flywheels but I don't know what their daily driving conditions are. Are they doing this in stop-and-go highway rush hour traffic (I live in Metro-Detroit) or is it more surface street, outer suburbia driving? I know that the ACT has 2lbs on the Fidanza which should help the inertia issue for take offs from dead stops, but some people say that the 2lbs makes no difference and the wheels respond/feel the same. Anyone had both of them and have opinions either way? I'll sacrifice the 2lbs rotating mass/quicker reving of the Fidanza if it means safer/less stressful daily driving.
