In miss piggy (urs4/6), after 3rd gear isn't ever the problem.  Energy in the
flywheel is a good thing once you have it.  Getting it in there can take
forever in a small displacement motor with high rotational inertia.

Ya, check out the article, basically shows that the effect diminished, worst
case scenario I bet its not an issue past 3rd gear.  Makes sense too, Audi's
have heavy flywheels for the size motor, my 2.2 lugging about 23 or 24 lbs,
comparably, the VR6 only weighs 17lbs, and that is for a dual mass unit.
I've always wondered why all my Audis seem to accelerate so much better in
3rd gear, and after reading the article, its beginning to make sense.
