Flywheel + FI?
Hi all,
Is it still a good idea to get a lightened flywheel if I plan to go FI? Will the driveability be significantly affected, or will the flywheel hold up to the additional strain? I'm planning to install the ACT Prolite and then in the future a FI kit like the PTP or Hymee's.

I have a lightened flywheel with FI. No problems...well not anymore then if you have a regular car with a flywheel. Little more difficult to modulate, and in reverse sometimes you stall a bit easier. But that happened before I was FI as well.

I have tried a car that was basically RB'ed out (RB cat back exhaust, RB suspension kit, RB flywheel, etc. Honestly, there was not much difference. Revs about the same. I would say no it is not worth the extra $ & labor.
