Changing flywheel

Planning on changing the flywheel.

http://rx7.com/store/rx7/fddrivetrain_flywheel.html

Wondering what would be the positives and negatives of getting a ProLite vs. Streetlite flywheel.




THANK YOU!

i have the SR motorsports 9.25lb flywheel and i have no complaints

motor rev's nice and quick, but i did notice that it needs a more aggressive heal-toe to rev match...down rev's quicker also.

stock vs sr:

A 9lb will be a little touchier as far as taking off from a stop. both will respond far better than stock (as the primary mass of weight removed in both is from the outer ring area.

If you drag, many people will recommend the slightly heavier of the two. If you autocross or track, go with the lightest possible.

Either way, going with a lighter flywheel will change the way your car feels... for the better. much better.
