Why does everyone still believe this myth? A light flywheel DOES NOT reduce torque. It reduces rotational inertia which will require a higher launch rpm and more clutch slip to launch effectively from a dead stop

i said the feeling i know it dont lose tourque, i had a 8lb flywheel and it feels a loss of accelaration from the dig almost like turbo lag

It's just a feel. An 8lb flywheel will make your car faster, especially in lower gears where the lower inertia is multiplied even greater by the gear ratio

everyone around here always laughs when they see that i have no ac or ps. thats free power right there buddy. no lines, no compressor, no pumps, noooo problem. car runs a 15.3 with just bolt ons so i dont think thats too bad for what it is
