A review

You won't gain or lose torque.

That's it. You reduce inertia so it's easier to accelerate and deaccelerate.

this thread basically explains it all. It's for lightweight pulleys but they have the same effect. Just the flywheel has a much greater effect. You didn't research this before you ordered? You'll be happy with it, I'm sure, but next time, make sure you research before you buy.

Its night and day!! Trust me, but you'll have to learn how to time your shifts all over. Now you have to shift much faster or the rpms go WAY down

i know that, i shift pretty fast anyways, and i got my self used to giving it a little tap on the gas when i take it out of gear, so that the rpms actually go up and then back down a lil while im shifting

Im not doubting your driving skills at all, but trust me... you won't be ready for it the first time. It took me about 2 weeks to get used to it. Especially starting out because you have to used more gas.

And also the shfting isn't so much about shifting fast as it is shifting perfectly. If you shift to fast, you kinda get the bunny hop thing, and if you shift too slow, you get this HUGE lag in power.

And lastly, when UP shifting, you probably won't wanna give it that little bit of gas after clutch release, it will rev too fast and cause a rough shift.

I hope this helps a little, let us know how YOU feel about it once you have it installed and tested. Its my personal favorite mod, it just takes a little time to get used to.
