I really don't mean to argue but something doesn't make sense. 10 lbs may make a difference..... fine. But if we're so concerned about weight, then why the Type 4? We all know you can get more power out of the same displaced T1 for less money and weight. You said the weight balances on the bellhousing anyway. That's the center of the car L to R. You'll obviously have more weight toward the rear...... 10 lbs. Move your battery to the front, and you've more than compensated. I would think you'd want the strongest parts for a race car, never mind a street car. I would think it would be much easier to save weight in body panels and such rather than sacrificing drivetrain longevity and/or reliability. BTW.... I have the KEP 915 to T1 flywheel.... not cheap!
