anyone regret getting a 8lb flywheel
Does anyone regret running a 8lb on the street? Mainly interested in NA but would like to hear from all who are or did run a super light flywheel on the street.
Thanks

I never had a problem matching revs with my 9.5lb flywheel at 17psi. Unless the accel/decel settings are off it shouldn't be an issue. I don't know what you consider to be fast, but remember he is asking about street driving.

I like the responsiveness of a LW flywheel as well, but if the car is losing traction I have to 'wait' between shifts and I lose boost as well. John
