Always looking for the little bit extra.

My classic Mini Cooper is just about 10 hp over stock (83/72. I have changed the final drive from 3.4:1 to 3.1:1 as at 62 mph it's turning 3900 rpm, not freeway compatible. I also added a light weight flywheel (8 lbs) in a effort to compensate for the difference. Wow you can feel the difference.

Now my Porsche (72T @ 2200 lbs and 245hp, 3.0L twin plug/webers) I know has the stock flywheel. Just wondering? It's pretty easy to drop the engine, I've done it about 4 times, I wonder? Our host has an 8lb flywheel available?? Maybe a winter project?
