You mean any throttle response difference? Probably not noticeable, unless your well over 450hp were you might feel a slight increase in pull.

Wow, I noticed upgrading for my stock flywheel to my ACT 12.5lbs flywheel, and that was on a stock b16 like 4 years ago! I definitely would'nt want a stock flywheel put back into my car now, what tranny are you running? If you have longer gears(ls), then you may not have noticed a difference. Although I'm kinda bias because I've never had my turbo car with a stock flywheel and then upgraded to an aftermarket flywheel; I've always had my ACT flywheel in there. You should feel a difference in your throttle response!
