reduces drivetrain power loss, increases rev speed.

you'll gain a little power at the wheels, and get better throttle response.

light flywheels are great for autoX or road race, but not very well suited for drag.

I have a Fidanza aluminum with stage 3 clutch on my camaro mostly bolt ons. It makes a very big difference in 1-2 gear revs are very quick engine picks up speed quickly other gears you wont feel so much at all. I only did it because i said ohh well im changing the clutch and buying the new flywheel was a must for me because my old one had cracks so i thought id try it and was worth it for me. But my car pulls 392.8 RWHP and 434.7 RWTQ and especially ive also had the flyweel when the car was mostly stock and still felt a huge difference in the first couple of gears with 3:73 gears or 4:10's traction will definitly be more of an issue then ever with light weight flywheel.
