Lighter the flywheel the faster the revs but less torque when under load and can cause undue vibrations.

I went with a knife edged crank and a lightened flywheel and have since gone back to a standard flywheel weight due to vibrations from the engine which is computer balanced.

Never tried an alloy flywheel but I guess it would have the same effects.

We're running an alloy flywheel - the only downside for us so far is the revs hunt alot when its cold, but it takes off ok - seems to be ok so far. She revs up quick!!!
