Default Porsche 951- Lightweight Crankshaft/ Flywheel/ Pressure Plate...?

I have several large boxes of mods that I will be doing to my car when I rebuild it here very soon. I am just waiting for all the parts to get in. I have the lightweight crank, flywheel and pp, but I could not find any evidence of these being used. If someone could show me a video of a 951/944 with these mods I would be so appreciative! I would like to see how quickly it revs in idle, how it accelerates from the cabin and how it accelerates from outside. Any video of it would be awesome! Thanks.


Also, a quick shout out to Lindsey Racing for their MAF sensor. It works great and I have noticed a slight gain in power from it, and the ability to perfectly tune my car is sweet. This mod was added to my car PRIOR to the rebuild, just to make sure I have it tuned correctly.

I can get you video tomorrow. I have a stock crank but an 8 lb flywheel and aluminum PP. My next motor im building will also feature a lightweight, knife edged crank and pistons and rods that weigh much less than stock. As a result, this engine will also not feature balance shafts since they do not really work properly when the rotating assembly is significantly lighter than stock.

You might want to do some research on this - I'm not sure that's a factual statement.
