balancing.

[roccit_53 at hotmail.com (C Boyko)]

Well, I came back into this late, but I LOVE my light/balanced flywheel, I 
see no downsides for my application. It's as easy to launch, and no idle 
issues either. No mpg penalty that I've noticed. The main difference is you 
have to be thinking about second when you let the clutch out in first, it 
comes up REAL fast. And mine's no turbo beast either, just a mildly built 
2L.  I've had the light one in there a year, I'd do it again, in fact I plan 
to someday, Klaus still has a heavy one.
