A lightned flywheel will give you better engine response (it gets rid of rotational mass, freeing up hp) i.e. the revs will build quicker and drop quicker. Your car should also accelerate quicker as well.

I cannot tell you how much it improves the car though. Also the ammount the flywheel is lightened will determine the results i.e. lightened a bit will probably be slightly noticable whereas if its lightened alot then you will see a big improvement.

I hope this helps - I think its a bit vague but, as with alot of the mods I have done I didn't drive the car BEFORE I had it done.

Also you may need to up your idle speed when you fit a lightened flywheel.
