I don't know how much can be safely shaved off while maintaining structural integrity and good heat dissipation. Some, certainly, I just don't know. (I went with an aluminum flywheel.)

The disadvantage is that it makes it harder to keep a steady speed in the lower gears. Less than perfect synch on the carbs, or anything else that makes the cyls not all pull evenly, will cause the car to buck. Be careful not to get it too light for use in traffic.
