600170 is an ACT XACT Prolite flywheel, built for dramatically improved engine response and acceleration with mild to moderate gear rattle. It starts from a heat-treated forging for strength and toughness, with an induction-hardened ring gear for maximum life. One-piece construction reduces the chance of failure and provides uniform, efficient heat transfer away from the clutch disc, eliminating warped inserts or loose ring gears. It is forged, CNC machined, and dynamically computer balanced for smooth high-RPM reliability, and is recommended for race use.

FAQ
What is the difference between a Prolite and Streetlite flywheel?
Prolite is ACT's lighter-weight flywheel option, giving the most dramatic improvement in engine response and acceleration but with mild to moderate gear rattle, and it is recommended for race use. Streetlite is a heavier alternative built for street and race use with less gear rattle.
Why is one-piece construction important on a flywheel?
One-piece construction removes the extra joints found in multi-piece flywheels, which lowers the chance of failure and lets heat transfer away from the clutch disc more evenly.
Does this flywheel need to be balanced after installation?
No, ACT CNC machines and dynamically computer balances every XACT flywheel at the factory for high-RPM reliability.
Is this flywheel suitable for daily street driving?
ACT recommends the Prolite flywheel primarily for race use because of its mild to moderate gear rattle; drivers who want a quieter street-focused option should consider ACT's Streetlite flywheel instead.
