[deuce dodge]

deuce

[TurboGLH]

I don't of anyone using a scatter shield on our cars. I don't even think it's required for a fwd vehicle as a couple of sub 11sec cars out there and they don't seem to run one.

How fast do you have to go before they start requiring one? I was looking for pics of you car to see if you ran one or not, but couldn't seem to find them even though I know they're out there.

And are the rules different for a 5-speed?

All FWD cars :

Manual trannys 11.49 and quicker must be equiped with a flywhell shield

Auto trannys runing quicker than 10.99 or faster than 135MPH must be equipped with shield meeting SFI spec 4.1
and 9.99 and quicker must be equipped with a flexplate shield meeting sfi 30.1
and a flex plate meeting sfi 29.1 specs

Sounds like someone needs to be making flywheel shelds for the stick cars. I know of a few than need em.

Does it list a spec?
Is the factory Dodge stuff good enough for a manual? It is to me if they don't list a spec :)

From the 2006 NHRA rule Book Section 2:10

"All FWD or transverse-monted applications using a clutch and running 11.99
or quicker must use a SFI spec 6.1 ,6.2,6.3 ,or 9.1 Flywheel shield"

If the flywheel shield is not commercially available you can fab your own

but must respect the material thickness needed and bolt grade

NHRA 2006 rule book

section 2:5

The use of the stock-Type cast-iron flywheels and /or pressure plates
Prohibited in any car running 11.99 or quicker ,units meeting SFI specs 1.1,
1.2,1.3,or 1.4 Mandatory in all cars running 11.99 or quicker

[Rampage16V]

The rule book gives the specs , from memory I think it has to surround the bell housing(not including any part that the diff that is between the bell housing and driver) and be 2" wide

[Reeves]

So if I wanted to be legal, I would have to fabricate a shield, and also find someone to make a flywheel?

[BadAssPerformance]

There's several stick cars faster than 11.99...

The flywheel and pressure plate have to be steel instead of cast iron. My p-plate is a custom steel on, but not sure if the stock flywheel is steel or cast???

anyone know the thickness the sheild has to be? I got a big bender at work ;)

A sfi spec steel flywheel for our cars
might already be commercially available @ (Fidanza)

you can download the NHRA 2006 General Regulations here:

All front-wheel-drive or transverse-mounted applications using a
clutch and running 11.99 or quicker, for which an SFI Spec 6.1,
6.2, 6.3, or 9.1 flywheel shield is not commercially available, must
be equipped with a flywheel shield made of 1/4-inch-minimumthickness
steel plate. Shield must surround the bellhousing
completely except for area of bellhousing adjacent to differential
and axle shaft. Shield may be multi-piece, with pieces bolted
together using minimum 3/8-inch-diameter Grade 5 or M10 class
8.8 bolts; may be attached to engine and/or bellhousing.
