Torque is generated by the engine. Some of this rotational energy is stored in the flywheel. This is known as momentum. A heavier flywheel has more angular momentum, but this doesn't mean the engine has more torque. If you were to put an engine on an engine dyno with the 2 different flywheel, the torque curve would be identical. On the road, the extra angular momentum from a heavier flywheel translates to easier standing starts, less rpm drop between gear changes, and anecdotally, better towing and uphill performance. If that is what people perceive to be torque, fine, but it's actually 'stored' torque, more correctly termed momentum. [Report message to a moderator]
