Default Flywheel Question

Hey guys, I have a 1988 Saleen #66 with a rebuilt 302 with a Tremec 3550 Tranny and a King Cobra clutch. I was woundering what would be the heaviest fly wheel i could put on it. Thx guys

why do you want a heavier flywheel, the lighter the quicker it will rev, and less strain on the drivetrain. i would go back with an OEM one.

Or do one thing better and get a lighter than stock one.

I would think that a lighter flywheel would help your problem out a little more than a heavier one. But I'm going to stop here cause that's all that I know.
