[QUOTE="K@rlos, post: 637412, member: 4304"] On a street driven engine, especially a stock bus engine with little torque a heavy flywheel will make for a nicer, and smoother drive. I’ve driven many buses with performance engines and a the heavier is always a superior drive. The 2276 in my bus has a full weight flywheel with heavy Gene Berg equaliser pulley and that still screams like a banshee 😬 Lightened flywheels are the most beneficial on track & rally cars as it allows the engine gain and loose rpm quickly when on and off the throttle alot from coming in & out of corners etc. Many drag cars actually run a faster time with a heavy flywheel as it gives more momentum/inertia and a harder launch, my friends turbo notchback improved the 60ft time considerably by going to a heavy flywheel.
