How about torque? any noticible change guys? is it less or more torquier, or not a big change?

It would seem that if the rev's drop quicker and rev's faster...torque would be affected in some way wouldn't it?

For example...in drifting would you not want the weight of a stock flywheel to carry the inertial force of the spinning flywheel to hold a drift? And if a Aluminum flywheel decreases the rotational mass...would it not also reduce the rotational force? thus, holding a drift would be harder... yes?

The purpose of a lighten flywheel is to get your car in the power band quicker, so why is it that this could be bad for drifting? (it doesn't have to be) but for some reason i can't seem to put 2 and 2 together. I can understand the benifits of a aluminum flywheel for roadracing and autox, but what's your guys' take on it for dirfting?

Thanks guys! Good info.
