I know all the technical issues about how it lowers the moment of inertia on the crank, thus improving throttle response. But how much of a HP gain should I expect to get. I've heard the 240 losses about 15% through the drivetrain. With a lighten flywheel, what will it drop to?
Also, is there anything I need to worry about with light weight flywheels??
-Thanks
