Reply to "Flywheel Mass vs. Acceleration"

Titanium connecting rods. They are actually Corvette rods. Since you have to recut the crank, you put lightening holes in it also.

When I got mine back from the balancer it looked like swiss cheese so now the fear is was the crank weakened by removing too much metal?

This stuff never stops. A solution in one area creates a "concern" in another.

You need a Porsche 918. Then you can go rev the hell out of it and it loves it.

I seriously doubt you will be happy with the aluminum flywheel in the Pantera. The clutch with it is either all the way in or all the way out and why that is a problem is you need to rev the engine and slip the clutch.

You are going to look like a 14 year old who stole his fathers car and never drove a stick before.

Try that on a hill waiting for the light. You will have to hold the car with the hand brake so you can work the clutch and the throttle simultaneously. Of course if you had a PK transmission in the car that could be a solution?
