Hi John,
Thanks to you and the other PP posters for their comments.
To answer your flywheel question, I stayed with the stock flywheel.
As for confirming that the peak hp comes at above 7k rev's using my current cams, I thought it was just my giddy imagination which made me feel like the engine had more to give at 7k. Turns out that it does!

I will probably end up switching out to a lower profile cam and go with the s grind so the car is a little more manageable around town - if I can bring myself to open up the top end again. The fact is the engine idles well. It's just that it's sluggish until I get to 2k rpms. Otherwise the car is a blast. I guess I want my cake and eat it too...
Just in curiousity, I was wondering if having the engine currently mated to the early 901 gearbox in my 67 911 actually helps deal with the low end torque problem. Eventually I was planning to put the engine back into my 2.4E body with the stock 915. That will happen when I am done rebuilding my 2.0S engine. Doesn't the 915 have longer gears? If so, perhaps that will aggravate the low end torque problem further, and thereby necessitae the change to a lower profile cam - maybe even Solex instead of the S cams. Any thoughts?

Also, I was still hoping for Wayne to offer his thoughts/insights.
