| tom, unless the box has gotta come out. its not worth doing mate. no power gains to be had just a little better spin up time. You'll loose some torque i believe too | |

| Tiz had quite a lot of flywheels done in the past and it will spin quicker but never really worth on an na car and to get the full potential you need to Have it balanced to the crank its not expensive to have done so you could get a spare crank and flywheel and have it and see what you think oh and bear in mind if it is lightened you change the profile on the face and will more than likely need a clutch as well in the near future.
On the other hand if you want a wheelspin machine do it. | |
