Default Lightweight flywheel or not

I have a ls/vtec with turbo. Is there any benefit to use a lightweight flywheel over a stock one and is it worth the money? If so which flywheel should I use?

for every pound of rotating mass you reduce you gain 2.4-2.7hp ......that was on a post from a few days ago. That means that for me, when i got my ACT 11lb fly i lost 6.6lbs and "freed up" anywhere from 16-18hp.....if the afore mentioned numbers are correct......

Ok first of all. Thats a myth. A rather stupid mith to me - i won't believe that unless i see the math/physics to go along with it. Keep thinking that you gained 16-18whp from a light flywheel.....Riiiight......not happenin.
