I think it is a great idea. The motor revs faster. Downside is that there will
seem to be less lower in torque. My C/GT lost 12 pounds in the flywheel by
dishing the front of the flywheel about 3/8's of an inch (remaining thickness
about 1/2 inch). Leave plenty of material around the ring gear unless you like
push starts.
