I wish I never installed the lightned flywheel, launching is very poor, you need the stock flywheel.

Wow every one I talk to says it better. And the stock one is very heavy but what makes it poor ? Because it revs too fast
Or to much wheel spin

No I was told that the heavier flywheel carries
more kinetic enegry, the light fly wheel with less
mass cannot carry as much momentum which = weak torque on starts

it's great when your on the highway but for off the line starts I'm very dissapointed. And the car sounds like **** under 2000 rpm. I'm going back to stock flywheel asap
