Message	The flywheel is for transition between gears. The reduced rotational inertia is not significant compared to the inertia of the rest of the car, BUT when you are changing gears you have to match rpm between input shaft and the rest of the assembly. In that case, the inertia of the car is not a factor, only the inertia of the flywheel, so the input can match (change rotating speed) much faster than with the stock flywheel. Drag racing? Don't bother with the flywheel mod. Road racing? It will probably help more, both on upshifts and downshifts. - John

Benefits over ride that theory - ZBlacktt 23:28:00 04/18/02 like I said... - Marshall 01:20:21 04/19/02 Flywheels are said to release power not make power. - ZBlacktt 02:09:31 04/19/02 I understand that. That's semantics anyway. - Marshall 02:16:55 04/19/02 Marshall is exactly right, why don't you go race your car? - RSR 05:57:36 04/19/02 ( caps not needed there You hoo ) :) - ZBlacktt 08:32:37 04/19/02 For crying out loud - Funky (NWZ) 07:00:41 04/19/02 Well, yeah..... - RSR 07:26:53 04/19/02 I hope your not referring to me.......lol :) - ZBlacktt 08:38:30 04/19/02 I'll see you there at the track ;) (n/m) - ZBlacktt 08:34:57 04/19/02 Woohoo!

I think I'll go heavier> - MugenRacer 07:52:53 04/19/02 Humm....
