Aluminum Flywheel
Doing some checking on running a lightweight aluminum flywheel. I have heard it makes your car get rpms up alot faster. Would this be a good upgrade or waste of money? I am putting in new clutch kit thought about doing the flywheel while in there.

with a lightweight flywheel and driveshaft you will free up probably around 5 hp to the wheels. Your RPMs will go up a little faster, but not chingasos.

Yes, a lightweight fly will allow the RPMs to climb faster, but will require a bit more feathering of clutch off the line. You will lose some torque, so make this part of your consideration.
