Light Weight Flywheel question about Torque
I can't remember if I read this or drempt this but if I fit a light weight flywheel can my clutch handle more torque?

My thoughts were and forgive me for my rubbish explaination but if you have two discs rotating at the same speed of different weights then the lighter wheel will be easier to stop/match to another speed.
So if two discs are spun at the same speed but the lighter one has more force will it be easier to stop (to a certain point)?
Will this not relate to a clutch/flywheel situation?
Does that make sense it's ages since I did any physics

In a sense yes, but that only makes a difference off-throttle when your torque is minimal anyway
When you engage the clutch you're taking the torque being produced by the engine, not the rotating mass of the flywheel.
