Actually, my car is pretty quiet at idle, Pete just tuned it. The noise I don't like is when lowering speed, as in a construction zone. I am use to my dual mass car being fine with it. I "daily drive" my cars daily, I am 99.9% street guy & I think at the first good opportunity, I am going to do "something". Not to mention, when pulling out in normal driving....I have to pay attention to how I come out, not a good scenario in hilly country like I live, buttheads driving & other distractions. I think for my type of driving it may not be the compromise I want. I think the tuners back in the day probably did it to help with "the number" foremost.

Paul, I tried studying on flywheel weight before....I thought I came up with the HP was mainly due to the way a dyno measures & not a "true" number, as if you had heavy wheels on your car & it dynos less with no difference in the engine. I do realize if you drop off weight it will accelerate faster.
