Really? My Super Stock 4 cylinder probably make less HP than even the lower power stocker engines and I have had huge performance increases from using lighter and lighter flywheels. Heavy flywheels went away when the quality of friction materials allowed for clutch slip. In my experience, the flywheel is no more than a reaction surface for the clutch and a place to hang the starter ring gear.
