TURBO: Stock Flywheel vs. 8lb Lose Torque?
I think it just depends on your setup. If you're going boost, it might be a good idea to solve the bad wheelspins that FWD cars have. I know with 330ft/lbs I need one in my 280.
could be worse

when you install a lightened flywheel you lose the ablitly to store energy not lose torque i called fidenza and talked to a rep the way he put it take a 6 pound bowling ball and then a 18 pound bowling ball throw them from the same distance the out come at the end when the ball strikes somthing will be differant his example was a bowing ball and pins he said he get this question a lot we custumers can not spin or curp 2nd hope this helps
