Default Flywheel

Anyone know roughly how much weight can be taken off the flywheel without making the engine braking effect too great?

Take off as much as it is safe to as there is always a risk of them breaking up if too much material is removed from critical areas.

I wouldnt be concerned about weights, Weigh it once it is finished
