Default LS7 crank "knifing"

Does anyone do this? I'm thinking a alum flywheel and lightening the crank should make the LS7 a little more "rev happy."

What say you?

I bought one of the lightest Callies stroker canks and had the machine shop do what is called a pendulum cut on the crank throws to save a little more weight. I also use the lighter flywheel and dampner.

Knife edge throws are more of a oil windage idea
