Re: lightened fly Wheel ?



I had one in my 87 16 V that was wrecked.  It allows the engine to rev quicker do to less weight.  
 
Downside:
    perhaps a little worse idle do to less inertia and you do have to rev the engine higher when taking off from a stop do to less momentum.  Should allow a person to have a higher redline though, with high tension valve springs. 
 
Next time I replace the clutch in my 86 16V I will go with a lightened flywheel again.

What is the effect of having a lightened fly wheel?
Is it a recommended mod? Any problems with it?
 
Thanks,
