I have the 9.5# and love it. I would never go back to stock. I know you like to drag race though, so it might hurt you.Some think the reduced inerita makes you loose rpm's too fast between shifts. Maybe get something like a 12#

Or is it just the 9.5# one that is bad for drag..... ???

A lightweight flywheel is great for roadracing, but not if you drag race. Your rev's drop off too fast and you drop out of boost. The stock one allows your to keep your rev's and boost up. Just my two .o2

I am using an spi 8.5lb flywheel. I don't have any problems with keeping my boost or revs up, just shift real fast. Took me a couple of days driving in town to get use to it, but after that no problem.
