Re: Flywheel
The biggest difference that I noticed when driving a car with a lightened flywheel is that the engine takes less time to lose revolutions when you let off the accelerator between shifts allowing you to get to the proper engine rpm to engage the next gear much quicker, and from a higher rpm. It seems to make the car quicker through the gears when trying to get to traffic speed.
I am sure the other affects, such as bearing wear and other torque affect are reduced. I am not sure what bad affects it might have, such as a less smooth idle etc.
