Stock Flywheel and Clutch Weight

The motor responded well to the reduced mass. Don't be surprised if you have to edit some of the tables in your computer to account for the reduction in mass, specifically the idle tables as well as the throttle cracker tables, follower etc. It's a little bit of work, but definitely worth it. Don't listen to the naysayers who say a light flywheel is hard to drive or poor for launching at the drag strip. You will need to readjust how you take off from a stop, but it's not a big deal. Instead of letting out the clutch at a stop light at ~1000rpm, you would now need to go up to ~1100 for instance. Not a big deal, just something to get used to. No different than driving a 4cylinder with a clutch, at least at a standstill. As soon as you get going it's great, the throttle response is far better.
