Default 6lb, or 10 lb tilton flywheel for drag car

will going with the lighter flywheel(6lb) be better for drag, on a 500 whp turbo car, or would the 10lb be better, stictly times here, not streetability. i searched and found most people agreed that a lightwieght was good. But with two light choices, im wondering which will be better for 1/4 mile times.

thanks

Lighter will always be better for a race car. I do see it possibly making traction even worse than it is though.

I was thinking of swithing back to a stock one. I'd trade -5 HP for a 1.7 60' anyday

I'd like a 14lb type R one, but I have a B16 (~18lb) one that I will probably use on my next build.

the only other input I have is a SRT4 was pulling 1.7 60 foot on similar slicks as me. He was using the stock flywheel and running 12.00001's. I was pulling for him to get in the 11's but he left before I got to see his final timeslips. I was running 12.36 with a 2.0 60 and If I would have had a 1.7 60ft I could have had the 11's I have never had...

My other car has a stock b16 installed and I dont really feel a big difference between that and a gsr with fidanza and 8.7:1
