Recall your physics; It requires power to accelerate the
flywheel. It is another mass that requires work to set in motion.
In first gear, lightening the flywheel by 10 lbs can be worth as
much as 10HP to the rear wheels. It is very significant. The benefits
diminish in the higher gears, but are still there.

I'm curious. Why are you installing a lighter flywheel if you won't
be revving the engine?
