Lightened Flywheels



on stock cams I noticed no difference in idle characteristics when I had the
Velocity lightened flywheel.  However donwshifts have less effect ie. less
engine breaking and the car reved(sp) like a motorcycle ;)

Heavy - slower acceleration, smooth idle
Light - lumpy idle, at an extreme you may have to raise idle speed to
maintain idle without stall
