  1. Any lightweight flywheel and clutch assembly is subject to stalling with any motor regardless of torque or horsepower.

    The driver must learn to "slip" the clutch slightly when starting out in low gear. Once in motion he or she can row through the gears without slipping the clutch.

    The flywheel static weight isn't as important as where the rotating mass of the weight actually is. The further away from the crankshaft the weight is the easier it is to get the car in motion from a dead stop.


  2. No, the card shouldn't stall at all with a light flywheel lol.  If you know it's there, you shouldn't have a problem ever.  lol

    I understand a heavy flywheel has inertia blah blah blah.  But off idle, that doesn't help much.  The only time it will really matter, is if its a standard and you drop the clutch hard, or letting go of the gas while going up a hill.

    You probably won't even notice the difference.  If you're looking for a performance increase, try exhaust, or intake.  

    A light flywheel is to make the engine rev faster.  By not having the regular weight of a flywheel on your engine, it will rev faster while in nuetral or whatever.  Doesn't really add much power at all lol.  Try a pully kit.
