[Spridgets] Flywheel in BE

[Mark Endicott]

While I don't have an aluminum flywheel in my Bugeye I do have one in 
another car.  It is over 500 HP and it takes 2000 + RPM to launch from a 
stop light.  I think it is a bit light for a street car but it does wind up 
fast.  With such a short first gear in a Bugeye would you have time to shift 
to second before you over rev?  I think I would stay with the rotating mass 
in a street car.
