heavy flywheel

So, after doing this poll
/forum/toyota-truck-4runner/463810-heavier-than-stock-flywheel.html
Can someone tell me why y'all in FToys, are NOT running a heavy flywheel? I dont' get it. I saw a whole bunch of stalling, right at the WRONG moment, at Globe. Seems like this would be a great mod.

Seems to me that the gain isn't worth the expence. It doesn't cost you any points if the motor dies.

They ARE pretty spendy! $49.99 at Checker vs $273!

Have you ever driven a rig with one in it, John?

You are one of the smoothest drivers out there. Did you even have any stalls at GLobe? (we won't include the rollover as a stall ) I can see why you don't see the need

Spend the coin on rear case gears instead...then, you don't need the flywheel advantage and still get your slooooowwwwwwww on...

With dual cases, I think the stock fly wheel works well, I used Toy dual case behind a Zuk 1.3L and never had any problems to speak of...

i didnt ever stall, even with my carb, if i did stall, it wasnt at a bad point, just usually when i killed it on accident. my idle was set a little low too.

What's a flywheel? Stock seems to work fine for me. Never stall unless I'm not paying attention.
