I think the lightened flywheel will make some of the turbo lag less noticeable, not like with a small turbo i really have much... but there's still some. The clutch is needed so i can get a good launch.

I never really thought about the hp improvement... this would be an interesting experiment. TO THE DYNO!!! <insert batman theme>
Well, think about it.. The stock flywheel is like 22lbs. The streetlite is 13.5. That means it weighs 39% less than stock. You can't attribute 100% of that to the drivetrain loss but definitely some. You're going to see some power return. Honestly though, the most noticeable thing is the throttle response and smoothness of the revs.

The mass is also more evenly distributed rather than just thrown everywhere so that also will attribute to smoother revving and smoother running.
It's definitely nice.

Excuse me while I make excuses to drive.. To the store!! WOO!!
