I dont see how turning my 21 lb. Flywheel into an 11 lb. Flywheel hurt my bottom end torque one bit? Less rotational mass frees up power and torque… Have you ever looked at the dyno of a car with the lightened pulleys on? If you do you will notice that reducing the rotational mass of an object makes it easier to spin… Therefore less power is wasted in keeping your flywheel spinning and more is transferred to your wheels.
The only thing a lightened flywheel will do is reduce your launch. Because of the reduced mass there will be less energy stored in the spinning flywheel to transfer to your clutch. So you will have to rise your RPM’s a little bit higher to launch and slip it in. Whoopee… On a street driven car I don’t see how a lightened flywheel can adversely affect you. Unless you’re a total tard and think every stop light is a freaking drag race. Normal clutch engagement should prove to have more power on tap once your clutch is fully disengaged. I just want some #'s so we can truly see the affect of it. If I had a base dyno of my car befor mods I could do this... But I don't. EDIT: made an error
