I have a lightweight flywheel. 8 lbs to be exact, I hear that a common argument is that when you shift , you "loose rpms" ... how is that so , when your not slowing the car down between shifts any different then with a stock flywheel (which is 20 lbs for me) ?

I can see the engine rpms falling quicker when you depress the clutch, but when you upshift your matching right up with the revolutions of the wheels , so there really is no difference in speed of the car , because your still engaging the gears at the same rpm no matter how heavy your flywheel is.

anybody following me here ? or am i just stupid and missing something ...
