I don’t know whether to THANK or curse Rocky!

I didn't mean to cause such a stir!

I do recall a previous discussion of an aluminum flywheel. I was in disbelief that shaving a ~10 lbs. off the mass of the rotating assembly could make a significant difference in a car's rev'ing ability, but this seems to fall in line with your conclusion.

It is very interesting, and it is good to have a lucid explanation.

Thanks - I am glad you got into the math.
