Default Re: Flywheel weight

Bear in mind that with the current technology of controlling clutch slip, heavy flywheels have gone by the wayside. Their function is more of a place to hang the starter ring gear than to store energy. I have had HUGE performance increases by reducing weight and diameter on my clutch & flywheel assy. As I always say 'Your results may vary', but I would be cutting weight and diameter if you want to go fast, it's all about getting the clutch slip managed.
