Bill,
I believe a std. transmission flywheel, or a torque converter full of
fluid will have significantly more mass than the psru adapter.  I ran my
20b w/o a prop for about 9 hrs total, but was very careful not to
over-rev it.  Throttle response is fantastic.  ;-)

Snip!
Running without a prop is a bit risky - overrev can happen suddenly.
Snip!

I don't understand how this is true...The engine has everything attached
that it has when it is installed in a car.  It should run fine with just
the
flywheel...adding the PSRU would be similar to turning the clutch and
front
half of the tranny...????

Please explain.
