I should have mentioned we already have a magnesium bell in hand so that is part of the analysis here. The Tilton 7.25" triple is already going in no matter what. Rated to 930 ft lbs with a sub-10 lb flywheel.

If you're being paid millions to race and risk "everything" -- sure...
We're doing TRACK DAYS.... and paying for that privilege to boot! The compromise is building in a bit of reliability, and SAFETY, so we can continue to have fun.
Regardless of choice.... Drivers skills (seat time) will beat weight savings every time.  |
Yeah I get that but I gotta think the high dollar teams and drivers using this setups must have some sort of protection built in. Nascar is pretty damn serious about safety these days and with all the wrecks and failures the cars seem to protect the drivers pretty darn well.

PS: My aluminum bell (no throw out) is 11lbs.. my mag bell with the throw out 8.2lbs.. the mag bell looks cooler though..

A blanket. Ok there's an idea. Who makes the blanket you have? I figured there had to be something like that but did not see any reference to the term "blanket."
Yep my research shows the following:
Steel 21 lbs
Alum 12 lbs
Mag 8 lbs
But again, we already have a mag bell with the clutch kit.
Thanks guys
