dont beat on the guy like that...

the purpose of a lightened flywheel is so that it will rev up fast each and every gear, same goes for knife edging your cank... everything that you lightened on the bottom end,(pulley,crank,flywheel..etc...) will rev faster....

lightend flywheel, like lightening any other part of the drivetrain will yield faster reving, better response, less spool time for turboed cars, and generally a faster car.

faster revs= faster shifts = less time to get to top speed = lower 1/4 mile time.

nothing magical about it.

It also takes away from the motors low-end inertia. Can kill a car running a/c and power steering.

It's a cool investment, I like them, but i don't like what it did to my daily driver civic.
