Technically , it is the moment of inertia . A flywheel that weighs 15 lbs and 
carries it's mass at the extreme egdes as does the 1500 wheel . has a much 
higher MOI than does a 15 pound flywheel that carries it's major mass closer 
to it's centerline .
A flywheel and clutch package that lowers your MOI will indeed make your 
vehicle accelerate quicker , all other things being equal .
