Very cool. Again, please note that extra flywheel weight is actually a benefit for drag racing a turbo car w/manual transmission during the launch. Bogging off the line is the biggest potential problem, followed closely by excessive wheel spin. Wheel spin can be managed by artfully feathering the clutch.

Of course, be sure that modified flywheel is perfectly balanced! I'd prefer if you could find a machine shop that has the capability of spinning the flywheel over 10k rpm for balancing purposes.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
