Matt, can you tell me a bit about your lightweight flywheel? My engine is being rebuilt this winter and I'm looking for easy bolt on uprades. What did it get you in performance. Are there other mods needed to use the new flywheel?

Thanks,

Michael

BTW - My idle speed was perfect for the ride home. No problem at all. Go figure.

My warm idle speed is about 650-700 rpm.

I have a lightweight flywheel.

I am getting the impression that the warm idle should be 950. Thus, i have a _very_ low warm idle.

My cold idle is around 1100.

Do you suppose its the flywheel doing this ? Or should I look to something else ?

Thanks,
Matt
