Some performace upgrades for 2003 rollas

1. Custom made headers in a 4-2-1 configuration.
2. Porting and Polishing intakes
3. Balace crankshaft
4. Custom made JE Pistons and gapless rings
5. Custom made performance radiators

More hardcore:

1. ECU Piggyback
2. Fuel pressure regulator
3. NOS System


I was wondering, I plan on changing my clutch plate, clutch cover and the flywheel to the TRD version, will I notice a huge change? The TRD fly wheel is much lighter than the stock, will this help in terms of HP gain?

A flywheel won't really increase or decrease the engine HP, as I understand it. What it does is change the "feel" of the performance. With a lighter flywheel, the engine will rev up more quickly, but will also slow down much more easily say going uphill then it did before. Also, you'll notice less of a "punch" when you shift.

Leastwise, this is how I understand it. Personally, I'd prefer a lighter flywheel in my clutch, it allows for faster engine response then a heavy one.. But, with a heavy one you can rev a bit when shifting and get a larger jump when you drop it in gear.

Anyone out there is welcome to correct me. I havn't rebuilt my clutch yet.

I have a stock flywheel on my clutch. I plan on eventually putting a lighter one in.

Lighter flywheels also have a downside, shitty idle and the fact that you'd lose some torque.
