7.5lb baby girl for a BHR 9lb flywheel

Charles R Hill was in Michigan this past week as many of you know. His last night involved an install of his BNR flywheel, an ACT (ZM8-HDSS) Clutch, and an RP superCAT in my garage in Clawson. The install took us several hours, 2 trips to the corner murray's and a pizza. Ray is knowledgeable & fun to work with. It was a great experience. Impressions of the car to follow.

Before install I introduced Ray to my 3 week old Daughter for weight comparison:

I need to put more miles on before I really know how the clutch is different from the stock one but what I can tell you now... GET THE BHR FLYWHEEL!!!!! RPM drop is now PERFECTLY timed for athletic shifting, and I did not find the quick rpm drops annoying when shifting less enthusiastically. The new flywheel combined with the RP super CAT certainly have made the car FEEL faster. I am pleased.

Ahh, u better be sure that CRH did not "mistakenly" installed the 7.5 lbs to your engine ... :P

Congrats on the new born ! Now you have "one more person" to care about for the rest of your life

Ahh, I still remember about 5 something yrs ago when my nephew first born ... he was like 7 something lbs I think. ahhh ... now he is running around ... telling me to buy him ice cream & stuff .... time goes fast

So, you have to give up your first born to get a BHR flywheel?

That's what I was thinking. But seeing Ray last night there was no newborn in tow..

Congrats on the New baby Girl and the flywheel.

I was heavier than a BHR flywheel at birth. Actually, I was the runt of my mother's 3 children I guess. Luckily for me, she only drives auto and thus replacing me with a LWFW was not an option.
