So will it make the car run better and easier on normal driving because I've noticed that pulling away from lights require pretty long press on the gas pedal to make revs rise, because of the heavy flywheel. What's it like with a ~7 kg flywheel?
I have a Reyland lightened flywheel and hydraulic clutch conversion on my 2WD sapphire, I have had a lot of other modifications as well and its hard to say what difference it makes. All I can say is it picks up really well and anyone who has been in my car are well impressed with how hard it goes.
