My DriveTrain Upgrade...

Well in about a month i will be getting a drivetrain upgrade including

CMfx400-6-puck
Fidanza Flywheel
Driveshaft Axles

installed for $2250.00

I was wondering, what mounts should i get for them to throw on in the mean time?

Thanks

I have the ZZP engine and tranny mounts and both work very well in preventing wheel hop. Mine is practically gone actually. The only downside would be the vibrations, but I can live with that.

you can get a 2.2 fidanza. Basically weighs less than the stock flywheel, = easier for the engine to turn = rpms dont fall as fast.

If the Ingalls is working that well for you, then I wouldn't worry about the mounts too. Best of luck.

If it revs easier, won't the RPMs fall faster?

This has nothing to do with an auto. Automatics have a torque converter, manuals have a flywheel and clutch

Right but........IT should just make the engine more freerevving. Whether it be up or down it just becomes freerevving. So it revs up easier and it also makes it rev down easier. It would be great for autocrossing and other high revving events but I am not doing mine for drag racing.

i dont think it will have any negative effects in drag...... im prettysure it spins longer, keeping the rpms up during shifts on drag... not positive though

Regardless a faster spinning crank = faster accelerating car, not by a huge amount but by some....

when you shift with a lighter flywheel, the rpms drop faster....

There are in fact flywheels in automatic trans equipped cars. What do you think the torque converter attaches too? It is however a different flywheel. So to answer the question, NO, you can't use it on an auto.

The flywheel is a large disk mounted to the output side of the crankshaft that does 2 things. First, it gives you something to bolt your transmission to. Second, it provides rotational mass to keep the engine revolution speed smooth through the 4 stroke cycle.

Correct! Autos do not have a flywheel at all.
They have a flex plate with a ring gear on it.
