Apparently I spoke too soon. Thank you for your response, I was hoping for a reply like this. It sounds like no matter what, a centerforce clutch would do me good to install, especially on a vehicle that might be driven in a low gear when doing something like rock crawling.... Okay, I think I'm starting to get it. Thank you!A heavy rotating mass (like a flywheel) will be harder to slowdown and harder to spin faster than a lighter rotating mass, all else equal. Race cars often use light weight flywheels because they can be accelerated and decelerated more easily than a heavier flywheel (think high RPMs with lots of shifting, low to high RPMs and vice verse). In contrast a heavier flywheel will keep spinning, be harder to stop (think resisting stalling).
Centerforce flywheel is heavier than OEM. That is all.
