light flywheel question

[skilzz]

is it true light flywheels ruin top speed acceleration? my cousin recently replaced is stock setup with a f1 racing clutch and flywheel kit and now he cant go past 117mph

117mph is the speed limiter.

[skilzz]

I have a Bisimoto (8.9lb) flywheel/H22A tranny have no issues with "ruined" top end. It actually get's up there pretty good.

Yes a lighter flywheel may ruin your top end (Depending on set up and how good the product is). I purchased a 8.5 pound Fidanza Aluminum Flywheel. I was told that light flywheels are not good for every day use. The Stock flywheel weighs around 20 pounds. For every day use a 12 pound flywheel should be good.

i'm still looking at that twelve pound F1 flywheel, looks like a good deal and i can't find any con about it anywhere.

i thought it would be the other way around. as in everyday driving you would do alot of accelerating and decelerating not constant top speeds

I can see no reason for this being the case. Can you back up your statement?"
