Depends, for N/A or for turbo?
For N/A I would say yes, the lighter the flywheel, the faster your able to rev, therfore the more power. As for a turbo aplication, I've herd many people say that there bad for turbo, the driving condition of the car is drastictly altered, assuming we are speeking of a street car.

Fidanza and ACT are the only ones I know of, I'm sure there are more out there, just do a search, BTW for what car and what motor?

Dont invest in it if you plan on going turbo, save the money and use it to buy turbo components. You can expect to pay no less than 200 dollars from a reputeable dealer, with that you can buy a good used turbo.

ive heard that aftermarket flywheels are a bad way to go. because they warp real easy.
not 100% sure on it. thats just what a guy told me at some tranny shop.

yeah sure, lightened flywheel=faster spool, but between shifts you're dropping revs alot faster then with a stock flywheel too. more mass=more momentum. If you even THINK about going turbo, do yourself a favor and keep the stock flywheel (don't shave it either like d16z64life )
