A contradiction that you yourself have pointed out, its not just mass of the flywheel but where that mass is in relation to the center of said object.
So a blanket statement of "heavier is better" isn't true.
Oh, also I have never heard gears chattering and the clutch chattering in my crx with 7lb fidanza flywheel. I also have a stock clutch in there instead of an aftermarket one that most people with 7lb flywheels would have. Maybe Hondas are just made with anti-gear and anti-clutch chatter lol. I'm sure this does happen to people, but not to my 1.6l honda crx.
I'm starting to pull the vx swap today, hopefully in a month or two it'll be rip roaring in the new car.
