whoever posted this originally had it backwards, lightweight flywheels are for drag (8lb or so) and the 11lb wheels are for road racing. its all about the inertia, when youre doing road racing youre going to be doing a lot more shifting at high speeds so the flywheel is carrying more inertia and the engine is working less. 8lb flywheels are made for quick acceleration in lower gears where the inertia isnt needed to maintain speed since there is none yet. and they dont increase hp or torque, thats true as well. but they DO help you move along quicker as the engine is working less to produce the same speed/acceleration. its undyno-ed results, and its been proven...otherwise why would so many people use them. and i dont just mean random people looking to make their cars faster, i mean actual racers.
and as for personal experience, the mods on my car are minor and i didnt do track before and after so i cant say if the flywheel did anything for time, but it definitely revs and falls faster in neutral, which would kind of hint that it does the same thing if its in gear...just not to the degree that it does in neutral. think about it.
