But we have high rpm's to help us get out of the hole. It's a big balancing act and you will have to play with rotational weight and gearing to get it right. Most people slap a heavy stock flywheel and call it a day because they don't have the money to invest in what it takes with gearing/suspension/etc to take advantage of a lighter flywheel and that's ok. A stock or heavier flywheel will suite most peoples needs.

..and a prostock is a pretty extreme comparison once you consider the 2250lb weight, 4 digit power, 500cid, adjustable clutch(as Enzo stated) and ultra high compression.
