flywheel is not required for boost. id do it if i was n/a ...i mean ur rpms will climb like crazy in a boosted car anyway.

my experience is, if you go too light it hinders your ability to get out the hole.

My buddy has a 2000gsr w/ drag kit, 9lb flywheel, lsd.

even with the lsd it is nearly impossible to get a decent consistent launch, mostly because you would have to "over shoot" the rev target so that you could try to get a good launch, which would result in spinning your *** off. If you tried to launch at a lower rpm it would just bog off the line. I firmly believe its due to the loss of rotational mass inertia of the lightened flywheel.

on my set up, i have a middle of the line 12lbs and it launches and revs just beautifully.

I can launch perfectly. I don't know what kind of clutch he has - i'm using a 6 puck ceramic clutch. It launches great. You just have to get the feel for it.

don't go with a fidanza the can warp and chatter. Cynrgy makes a 4 plate flywheel and it is proven to warp less. also these plates are replaceable.

Nothing wrong with the B16 flywheel.Put the money towards some drag radials or slicks.Those will make an improvement without debate.

People who say that light flywheels hinder launches need to go learn how to drive.
