Message	Lightweight flywheels have 1 purpose, to allow the engine to rev more freely. If you did dyno pulls in 1st or 2nd gear, you would see a difference on the charts, but that's not what they are for. They make it MUCH easier to heel-toe and match revs on downshifts, and do it faster. That is what they are for, and that is why I have one on my car. Personally, I don't think the Z makes that great of a drag car to begin with; so I don't care what it does to my 1/4 time... but it sure as hell makes my drive to work in the mornings a lot more fun. :) (oh yea, going to PIR on May 10th! wooo) -Ryan
