RE: lightweight flywheel

if you want to have quick times drag racing dont get it. Yes it lets your engine accelerate faster but it has no inertia/momentum because it is so light. therefore you have to rev high on launches. They are mainly for road racing

You couldn't be farther from the truth.

It's obvious you have no experiance with drag racing or aluminum flywheels. Although not a good $ per horsepower mod, it's a valid mod for drag racing none the less

I have seen gains of up to a full tenth in the 14 as well as being easier on the drivetrain[8D]
