a common mistake is that a flywheel "makes" horsepower. it doesnt. it frees up some though if you want to think of it that way. it just makes it easier on the rotating assembly to turn the wheels. another factor you have to take into account if you are racing 1/4 mile is that off the line you want to "shock" the wheels as much as possible to get you goin'. with your stock ~22lb flywheel you can "shock" them quite well since something 22lbs spinning at 4000rpm's has a hell of a lot more force than a lightweight 11lb flywheel spinning at the same rpm level.
i have a JUN ultra light flywheel under my bed awaiting my h22 swap. from what i've heard and read the revs go up MUCH quicker. unless you go really super light like 8lbs or something, it still shouldnt be too hard to drive in traffic or anything. you will also be able to slow down through the gears a lot easier with the lightweight flywheel.
