You don't lose torque. If anything, it is improved because it is more efficiently being placed on the ground.

7.5-9 lbs is ideal for the best acceleration, but you will run into stalling issues if you have an erratic idle like that on a turbo setup or aggressive cam profile setup. Fidanza is a good choice, but a little too light for my taste. I like the ACT Prolite.

Well, if you lighten the flywheel,sure you get faster throttle response. But if the city where you live have a lot of uphill I suggest not to lighten the flywheel cause with lighten flywheel, you loose the momentum just like mean azz acura said.

That really isn't true. Taking off on a hill is a little difficult, but you will have more horsepower going to the wheels to get you up the hill once you start moving.

When u say taking off on a hill will be a little more difficult, do you mean it will just want to stall easier?? And i presume if you just keep the revvs a little higher and not let the revs die as u let the clutch out all will be good?
Thanks agen

Yeah, you have to give it a little more gas than normal to get it moving.
