Lightweight flywheels For NA: Pros and Cons

You guys must be coming from more of a mechanical engineering side talking about your inertia/"moment". I've always taken a more mathmatical/physics approach is why I mentioned torque. We are talking the same thing here.

All the lightweight FWs that I have used have always made improvements. Drivablility did change a bit, but nothing difficult at all. You do gain acceleration by going lighter. As B/TTT mentioned, I would do it again if I had anything with a stock FW.
