About a 3% increase in RWHP, plus the car will rev faster.

I thought for drag applications a steel (heavier) flywheel was better because it kept it's rotational inertia better??

who says he's dragracing it

letting it rev faster would be awesome on a nice curvy road or on a autoX course.

Correct. A steel flywheel would be better suited to drag racing, where as a aluminum one would be better for the road coarse.
