no but it will make driving alot harsher and less comfortable. i always recomend a 12 pounder if its your daily driver.

Re: wut about an 8lb. flywheel?

you'll loose a little back pressure with no muffler (a slight loss in power, nothing major) but nothing should mess up the engine.

Re: wut about an 8lb. flywheel?

8 lbs flywheel on a boosted application gave it a better pick up. but driving in traffic sure sucks. harsher engagement is needed to get it going from a stop.
