The engine for my track car is being assembled and one of the items I need is a flywheel. The car will be used mostly for DE with very little street driving. That being said, I would like to use a lightened flywheel so the engine will rev-up a little quicker, but one of the flywheels (aluminum) I'm looking at weighs only 5 lbs. Is that too light?
The engine is a 2.2 six, not quite stock.   |

For the track, I say as light as possible. The only negatives are weakness, some of them break, and it won't idle as smooth.
