Re: Lightweight flywheels
The flywheel is there to keep the engine running as it fires and smooths out the impulses. The flywheel is heavy for the inertia of the spinning of it to get the weight of the car moving.
If you go light the car will lose bottom end. I don't think it will make up enough at the higher RPM to overcome the bottom end lost. I wouldn't do it.
