LC engineering 35lb fly wheel

Anybody ever put one of these on or knows someone who has one? I'm thinking about putting one on but would like to hear if they actually make a difference on hills/towing.

Heavier flywheels will not increase power only manage the power you have. It kinda smooths out a power delivery, good on greasy trails.

Ok. But will it help out at all with the drop in rpm's when shifting on a hill? LCE says it helps the engine keep up inertia in situations like shifting on a hill or towing. I live in a mountainous area and it would really help.

UMMM if you rollin throw weed on your way to REDDING it will hang a bit longer in the rpm range you pull it out of so ya I guess it will help out easiest way to put it is you wont lose anything and it will pay off in the long run.
