Default light flywheel

Im going to be putting my old tranny in and a new clutch this up coming weekend. I was wondering if an 8pd flywheel would really make a difference in get up and go. Im not sure if I want to spend the extra money on something I wont notice. any input would be great. set up is going to be sohc zc, si tranny,intake, 2inch exhaust. the car is running like a champ full tune up just done. its getting an exedy stock clutch. unless you guys think xtd is alright. cuz I can afford the kit if its xtd if not Im going with a stock exedy

Yes, it will. Search.

Don't listen to any of the foolishness about losing power or torque.

It's simple math, lighter = better.

x2


KE=(1/2)Iω²

KE = kinetic energy
I = moment of inertia
ω = angular velocity

The smaller the moment inertia (in general, it decreases with weight), the less energy is required to accelerate it.
