~ Lightened Flywheel

I am thinking of upgrading once I burn this clutch up...getting a Lightened flywheel too! Do these things Really make that much of a difference? What are we talking about heree....3-4hp or will I even get that much!? Is it worthe the purchase, I already have teh 17lb Driveshaft...my guess is I will notice less gain with the Flywheel, am I right?

I have a Spec Billet Aluminum flywheel going in on Thursday. I'll let you know if I can tell any difference in performance. My guess is that I won't; it and the clutch/pp need to be replaced so I am going with the Spec 3+ clutch and the Spec billet f/w.....

The shop has been backed up, so it's still not done yet. Hoping to drop it off tomorrow to start on Tuesday. I will let you all know.
