This might not apply to DSM guys, but I don't see why it wouldn't, but for drag, lighter flyhweels are bad. When launching it the rotational interia of the flywheel that helps you get off the line. A lighter flywheel means you have to launch higher and it is more inconsistant. It will also drop rpm's faster between shifts, which is a bad thing for us that other car that we shall not name guys with VTEC to worry about dropping out of. But for road racing and a street car it would be a good thing. Other than when taking off from a stop you'll have to slip it at a higher rpm to get going. I have no idea what the weight is, but I thought I would throw that in there.
