I found an in depth article explaining the physics and doing the math on everything. It was specifically for mustangs but principals still stands.

A 30lb shaft dropping to 15lbs with same diameter on a 13sec car would avg an extra 1/4hp for the run.

However a flywheel going from 25 to 12.5 bcs of the larger diameter would net about 3.5hp over a 13second run.

I guess I need to find something else to throw money at.
