    Im trying to find out what you guys think on flywheel weight, running 500hp small block which runs in the 8000rpm range. Boat is driving of the snout.
    thanks

    I have had excellent luck with just a standard aluminum flywheel... Don't like steel flex plates as they seem to be less friendly on starters (not as true & tend to deflect).

    Oh really??? Take an hour or so and look through your stable of boats and tell me which one has a SBC turning 8000?? Now if he asked you which was the hot and which was the cold on a hot water heater you could probably give him more of an educated answer...
