Ed, I'm going to put a heavier flywheel on my C motor for El Mirage. With
700 hp and those little skinny tires it's just too easy to knock the tires off
in the dirt. Unless you can flat foot the gas pedal and not spin the tires you
will not be slowed down with a heavier flywheel. What size and kind of clutch
are you using?
