Re: Lightweight flywheels
i dont have much experience with clutches and all that matter ...since most of my cars are auto's but if you think about it - the lighter weight of the flywheel will mean that it will take less to turn it meaning less loss of power through the drivetrain, and on top of that you are also losing a bit of weight on the overall car.

Re: Lightweight flywheels
Dont run a lightweight flywheel unless you are running alot of gear.
Most mustangs lose alot of low end grunt and even run slower with a lightweight flywheel. The inertia generated by the flywheel really helps you get off the line and keeps rpms up between shifts. I also cosidered getting a lightweight flywheel last year and after alot of research i decided against it.
