Counterweight works best with cars that have big motors with small tires.
The idea is to use low base to slip the clutch and get the car rolling off the starting line without blowing the tires off.
As the rpms increase, the counterweight adds more pressure to lock up the clutch..
Big block stockers with a 9 inch tire and a high horsepower 10.5 tire car are good candidates
for counterweight pressure plates.

If you have a car that leaves the starting line close to or the same rpm as your shifting rpm,
chances are you do not need any counterweight.
