Default Prop weight and torque rolling?

Couple of us were having a little debate at the field the other day as to whether prop wt./flywheel effect has an effect on an airplanes torque rolling characteristics?


I'm thinking a heavier prop will aid in torque rolling if you goose the throttle? Equal/opposite reaction?


Opinions?


Facts/physics?
