Lightened Flywheels

[vwscir88@hotmail.com (brett cooke)]

if it's one or the other, i'd stick with the stock flywheel and go with the 
270ish cams. back when i had my '87, i got tt's euro cam and that made a 
noticeable difference in power. later when i added a lightened flywheel it 
didn't make a damn bit of difference. thats my opinion.
  hit
BTW- mine didn't idle any different either way. smoothest running rocco i 
was ever in. damn tree!
