[V8] Aluminum V8 Flywheel on E-Bay

[Buchholz, Steven]

... pretty sure this is the same guy who offered the GP on the AF
Marketplace a while back ... price is the same.  I'm pretty sure that you
can still get 5-speed flywheels from Audi ... and they will set you back
around the same amount ... 

Not sure I buy the statement that a lighter flywheel gives more horsepower
though ... I do agree that it will allow the engine to rev quicker, but it
isn't like energy is lost in the iron of the stock flywheel ... 

Does anyone have BTDT with an aluminum flywheel on a V8?  I'm wondering if
the engine would idle more roughly ...
