Hey Gang! Looking for a good flywheel upgrade for my 93 rx7. Any thoughts which one to go with. This is a daily driver so I can't go with one to light. Maybe somewhere around 10-12lbs.

Thanks

Running an Apexi single bb turbo, what kind of increase in hp or spool up time can I be looking at? Is it worth the extra 350? Here's a good one. What will it do to my gas mileage? I mean, I only get 15 miles to the gallon. Is it going to drop dramaticly or have very little change. Keep in mind, this is my daily driver.

you are looking for faster spoolup time on an apexi rx6? you probably wont notice any noticable differences in spool time with a lightenned flywheel, plus your car will be a little less comfortable to drive on the streets..... maybe not a big difference, but its one of the drawbacks.
