I don't worry much because the flywheel isn't some 30 pound monster and because the clutch is 8" in diameter. total weight for both 22.5 pounds.
Engine is limited at 8200 rpm so far no issues.
Just so we're on the same page, what ventilated my stock BH was a just a couple of errant PP springs at about 4500 rpm, not a FW or clutch explosion. JMHO here, but one needs a scatter shield like one needs seatbelts. Everything is hunky dory until something goes wrong and at 8200 rpm even small things carry massive energy.
