I can't decide!
I doubt anyone has had both ACT's being so new but it's possible someone may have tried both of Racing Beats versions.
I guess what I should ask is: if you bought the Pro Light do you wish you had bought the street light instead ...or visa-versa?
My M'Trix engine is ready and I need to decide on a flywheel.

^ I've read all the searches on them but no one that I know of has tried "both" which is what i'm trying to get a comparison on. If you've only used one then it's kinda one sided. Which is also why I asked if anyone regreted and wanted to switch after driving "for a while" and not one week.
I like the benefits of less stress on the turbo's with the prolight but the only comparison I have is my coilovers which I regret very stiff springs for the street. So are there any regrets on going 8.5lb Racing Beat or Prolight?

Can anyone give me the counterwieght part #?
GoRacer,
Lightweight flywheels are fine for the street. However, if you are into drag racing, then you'll want a heavier flywheel.
Lightweight = street/road track
Heavy = street/drag

I personally am not a big fan of overly light flywheels. I drove my friends's street ported 13b Gen 1 with the RB light flywheel and it really was a pain in the ***. I also drove a Miata with a mid-weight flywheel and it was very easy to drive in stop and go and still behaved like a lightweight flywheel. While I personally can't comment on the FD, I would lean toward a mid-weight so you don't have to risk the downside of a light weight flywheel. I wish I had done mine when I put the motor in. The stock flywheel makes the car feel not as responsive as it could.
