lightened flywheel = bog when you drag race

Ive got it and love it! And all i do is drag race, if you know how to shift, there will be no problem with "bogging"

It won't store energy like heavier flywheel so you will have to compensate by raising your launch RPM. I had to fire off my CA18DE at over 8000 and purposefully spin the tires so it wouldn't bog when I grabbed second. That engine had the torque of a medium-sized lawnmower though, you should not have that much trouble.
