[DeTomaso] DeTomaso Digest, Vol 42, Issue 17- ALUM FLYWHEELS

[RCBSONS1 at aol.com]

My alum flywheel experiences
 
Pantera with a slightly modified Cleveland 
like Jack stated was streetable but when I 
put the Steam Roller 345's out back you could 
tell the torque was down
 
The Pantera with my currrent 411" srtoker
makes little difference in the torque but 
it revs so quickly due to the flywheel and
advance bushing in the MSD that most 
people cannot believe the response
 
The Firebird has an alum flywheel but
has a steel interpiece.... this car is 440 ci
has 430hp but 520 lbs of torque... the breaking
of the motor due to the flywheel is increadible
and very noticable.  It works nicely in the autocross
car with the motor doing much of the breaking on course
This was one of the best changes I have made
in the car since owning it the past 17 years and 7 or 8
engines
