Lightened Flywheels

[amalventano1@comcast.net (Allyn)]

Brian,
    This hasnt been verified for sure, but last info i got was that the rieger has shrick 256's.
also, it has tt race (full) exhaust and its probably got an over-lightened flywheel. I think the
crazy idle comes from all of this. Also keep in mind the idle is now a tad smoother since last cincy
(cam timing was 12 deg. retarded... dont ask how... you know how). All will be verified shortly as
my newly acquired 2.0 is goin in there to free up the other 1.8 for the twin.
