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.

Interestingly enough, you would actually recover some of the flywheel energy on a shift if you do it right.
Also, those estimates sound about right.
