[QUOTE="quicksilver7, post: 1063854563, member: 122298"] yea the revs will drop faster but it won't bother me cuz i use free gear when my foot isn't on the accelerator. lesser power during hill climb would mean that lesser power during straight flat road, same logic here no? but that is untrue because the flywheel only stores rotational energy. and we know that the engine outputs the same amount of energy before and after the mod. since less power is transfered to the flywheel (because it is lighter), therefore more power is transfered to the wheels. i'm only using logic here. ppl's talk about lesser power during hill climb is absolutely unfounded. anyway that's not the reason why i posted this thread.[COLOR="Silver"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR]Excerpt taken from http://www.pumaracing.co.uk/flywheel.htm "Finally, you see some frankly unbelievable comments on car forums about lightened flywheels such as "they might make the car faster on the flat but it'll be slower up hills because that's where inertia helps you." Yeah right, heavy things go up hills so much better than light ones.
