I don't see how making a flywheel heavier is a whole lot different than putting on say.. TSL's.. (ie heavier tire) .. granted thats at the very end of the drivetrain ... but for all practical (on-road) purposes of the conversation... gas mileage would go down me thinks
my opinion ofcourse.. i honestly have no idea =)

Number one thing you will notice with a heavier flywheel on the street is that the throttle response is slower. ie, blipping on downshifts takes a longer blip. Upshifting will be more bangy until you get the knack of matching revs better. Fuel economy isn't really affected, but THROTTLE RESPONSE is definately affected.
What Roger said about the benefits at lower rpms when 4wheeling. More smoothness. More ability to lug at lower rpms. Less stalling at low idle speeds. All good things.

Do you think the Centreforce FW at 6lbs heavier than stock is enough to make it worth while. The LCE is 12lbs heavier at 35lbs.
I've driven low displacement diesels and like how they drive. Didn't mind the slow reving, so I doubt I'll mind in the 4runner.
