So this is what its like...

When you have 200hp+ 210wtq+ and actaully able to put it down to the wheels. I recently got my stage 2 spec clutch installed with a flywheel and also some poly tranny mounts. Let me tell you these trans mounts are the best 50$ ever spend so far. I am amazing on how much different it feels and how much more solid it feels. It has vibs but i LOVE it. This new clutch is insane and grabs perfectly. I will be writing reviews later. BIG thanks to SMG down in MASS for the install. Fred is awesome!!!!

What are the benefits/dfferences in upgrading your flywheel other than the obvious weight reduction from the overall car's weight?

people keep asking me how the trans mounts are but despite them being pretty cheap i cant really afford them right now. hopefully i will fall into some money soon so i can start giving reviews on them!

Less rotating mass=better throttle response, less engine load for same rate of acceleration...

Pretty much, you will be slightly faster since you arent being so hard on the engine.
