I'm considering a Spoon 9.24 pounder. Anyone using this or an equivalent in their turbocharged car?

I'm using a clutchmaster 7.5 lbs flywheel. I think its great. Revs up really fast, gotta shift before you even know it.

I'm just afraid that the revs will climb too quickly with a 9 or less pound flywheel on a turbo car. They already shoot up in a fraction of a second in 1st and 2nd gear. It sucks to hit the revlimiter.

I am using a 7 pounder. I like the quick revs, but I may be losing some torque though...
