That seems to be true. Silverline's build is very similar to mine. He didn't mention whether he was going to put an aluminum flywheel or not. It's just one school of thinking on what to put in these cars. Bigger is not always better, more is not always preferable. Rod's car is probably 10% lighter than mine and he has >10% more power than I have (and hydro v. solid, too) and I think we both run Yokos. I'd have to drive it to see what the real difference was in the ramp rate, etc. Who knows, these Yokos only hold so much anyway.
