I worry about the same thing. I think if our stock FW is 18lbs. then 15-13lbs would be better overall.

Oh well, only time and Topher will tell.

aw man, sorry. I can't make it down. I already promised my friend I would go to his house on the beach and pick up my tools and my nitrous kit. Sorry man. He's cleaning the boat as we speak!

I can come over later, my wife is just pissed I left $2K worth of tools at a friends house for 3 months! Also, I need to get my ZEX kit back so I can whup-up on this old bald guy in a turbo-miata at my track....always talking smack about his 2dr turbocharged RWD roadster being .4s faster than my NA FWD, wagon......I can't wait to spray him!

p.s. a friend of mine has a ranger with a dual stage 150hp shot and his windshield banner says " SPRAY_NGER" same friend who thought it was funny to have a windshield banner that said "WINDSHIELD"....funniest thing ever!

Thanks for the info on the flywheels. And yet another thing gets added to the ever-growing list of things I must find a way to afford...

Are you the same person who works on "million dollar propulsion engines"?? They need to let you work on an english book first! Jk, You'll wear out the motor before the flywheel gives out. You'll rust a hole in your stainless steel exhaust first. Don't worry about flywheel longevity. It's not an issue.

How about a little sticker in the back window that says "Powered By An Engine"?
