I'm gonna throw what I've learned at ya, take it for what it's worth.

I'm running a 609 flywheel HP (N/A Baby!!) small block, and my tranny guy told me that I DO NOT have enough horsepower to run a lightweight flywheel!

Sure, that killer smallblock you have will spin that sucker up FAST and get you into the next gear Faster than Gen. Grant went through Richmond. The only problem with that is what was stated in this thread already.

As SOOOON, and I repeat, as SOON as you hit that clutch pedal, that engine is gonna fall on it's face just as fast as it spun up when it was in gear and you had your foot in the water pump.

Like the guys are telling ya, unless it's a 9K high gear race car, stay away from it!!!
