Default Weight of Tom's Flywheel

Is 7.84lbs to light for an XB? I tried a search for the weight of the stock flywheel but couldnt find it.

Why would it be too light? Your revs will drop faster, so you'll need to shift faster...but that's it. I want to say the stock flywheel is 18-20 lbs, but I know nothing.

i was looking for the thread....the guy took the flywheels to the supermarket to weigh them....lol
i have the 17-18 pound range stuck in the noggin....
if you wait till friday i'll tell you....

a lightweight flywheel has draw backs...
if its too light , it will make driving difficult. the car will tend to lurch (aka bucking) or stall. this is because the rotational mass is too low.

Yeah, Michael Devera from the EchoDrivers.com forum weighted the Tom's flywheel at Publix. However, he did not weigh the stock flywheel...
