      i dont see how a lighter flywheelgives you power. The flywheel is just a weight disc that keeps the crankshaft turning smoothly.

      --edit--
      Heres a helpful article. http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/flywheel/h ... _works.htm

      In an all moter car it would help out a lot, but a turbo is still gonna give a better performace boost.

      Horsepower is the ability to deliver a force in a given period of time. If you lighten the flywheel, the rotating inertia (resistance to change in motion) is lowered... thus it takes less effort, and less time to spin up or down.

      The reason sportbikes and Ferrari's rev crazy fast is because they have lightweight flywheels. Your torque (force applied to ground) may not be any higher, but your HP for sure will be!

      That doesn't mean anything...


      "Fast" race cars are always low on TQ... the WTCC Daewoo has about 150 ft-lb of tq, but nearly 300hp.

      You just need to learn to put your foot down and rev a little

      I like were this is going here but i have a few questions that maybe you guys will be able to help me with. I was concidering purchasing a short block and upgrading the pistons and rods if possible but is there and after market crank availble? Also would the best route for the head be to purchase a Lanos head and upgrade it with a cam kit of some sort, and of course use the intake from the lanos.

      i didnt think the lanos heads would work and i dont think there is an after market crank available thats specificaly for the aveo.....i dont think but there might be for something that is close to the aveo that could work.
