Nah, I didn't ask. If you call ask for Mark Schuler, he is cool, knows what he's talking about.

A lighter fly wheel will not give you more HP, it will get you there faster that's all. You motor has to turn less weight therefore it will spin much muhc faster...

Lighter flywheel should add more bottom end torque.

Well either way you can obviously dyno it and see the improved results on paper. Dyno's have horsepower and torque curves!

its not that flywheels add horsepower. they FREE UP horse power. its takes power to turn the fly wheel. a lighter fly wheels equels quicker revs, and FREES UP horsepower.

but dont expect a huge gain out of it.

correct me if im wrong
a better clutch provides better clamping force
resulting in quick engagement
and possibly more hp released? i dont know
