Lightweight Flywheel experience - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Anonymous · 12-14-2003

I'm thinking about a spring project for my '94 ZR-1. Last year I installed an X-Pipe and 4.10 gears. This spring I was thinking about a lightweight flywheel and wanted input from others who have done the same. The car is not used for racing and I mostly just zoom around town on the weekends. So, I am not trying to get the most out of it in terms of performance, but am interested in improvements that will make it more fun to drive.Does the lightweight flywheel make a noticable or measurable difference in the horsepower curve? I would really be interested in hearing from anyone who has done a before/after dyno run with a flywheel swap. I know the peak horsepower should not be affected, but lowering the rotating mass should increase the area under the horsepower curve and increase torque.What are your experiences?
