Default Clutch and Flywheel Question

Ok i really want to know how to get better acceleration through the transmission instead of just creating more horsepower. So I was wondering, it I upgraded the clutch, got a shortshifter, and bought a lighter flywheel, would that help me with acceleration? Like acceleration off the line and especially at 80 and above. Would I see a noticibable difference?

better clutch = better compound or material the clutch is made of thus allowing you to jump into gear a lot faster and better respone.

lighter clutch = when shifting gears, the rpms will drop faster into the next gear

short shifter = shorts your arm throwing distances in between gears.

ya usually upgrading these you can notice anything between .1-1 sec off 1/4 time. but i dunt think ull reach 1 sec on stock engine parts.

IMO if you upgrade all 3 of those alone = u might get .4 secs off 1/4 mile time
