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

lol yeah but kids love the 8. so everytime you see them, you have the coolest car and they all want rides. if you are ever feeling low, bring the 8 around a little kid and its instant ego boost lol

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.
