Lightened Flywheels, worth the $?

Hey guys, just like your opinions, and experiences with lightened flywheels, the good the bad etc. I searched and there aren't to many good threads on them.

Please only people who have driving lightened flywheel FCs before and after, I don't need somebody's opinion who hasn't used one.


Thanks

On my GSL-SE (13b model) after installing a 15lb flywheel, the car accelerates MUCH quicker...Espically above 5k...Very worth it IMO

Are they comparable to getting much lighter wheels? Because when I went from the stock TII rims to vert wheels acceleration improved greatly. I'd imagine you'd also get quicker drops in revs though as others mentioned already.
