Default Post your lightened Flywheel experiences

Although they can be pretty pricey, I'm considering getting one for my Bswap, because I'm hearing good things about how they improve acceleration, so everyone post your experiences after going from the stock B flywheel to whatever lightened one you have. Also if you can post your engine setup the flywheel brand, weight, and 1/4 mile time b4 and after. Thankyou.

I went from a stock flywheel to a 7.5lb fidanza flywheel. The difference is night and day...I love it. Best engine mod I've done to my car besides the nitrous. I don't know my 1/4 mile time before and after, but I'm sure it took off a few tenths. People will tell you that a 7lb flywheel is too light for daily driving, you'll lose torque, blah blah. Those myths are not true, and spoken by people who don't have one. I wouldn't trade mine for the world.

I am also thinking about it since I will replace my clutch anyway since I am still riding on the OEM clutch with my turbo.

I run a 7.5lb clutchmaster's flywheel. I've never had a problem and it definitely makes a difference.

I agree. I've got a Fidanza and it's one of my favorite parts I've added to the car.
