As for me I did the AFE shortShifter and the flywheel and both are great instant notice / improvement mods.

I'd have to say by far the best mod you can have done is the suspension. I got the MS springs/shocks/sways/tower bars and it makes a world of difference.
The lighweight flywheel is a decent mod but considering the cost of labor to install and the minimum gains from it your money would be best spent elsewhere.

2) final gear ratio along with some gear and differential modding. made my rx8 hit 9200rpm in 6th gear (!) on a flat road at a speed of 162mph (258kph)...

put in my ss clutch line last week . I have a HD clucth & have been having trouble getting full clutch disenguagement . It could have been air in the line but I used the same proceedure to bleed it as I did after putting the line on and the problem has gone away now . So - yes it is worth it if you have a HD clutch .

60lbs seems tough to believe, the BBK will give you what, 24lbs off the front? that leaves the rims saving 30lbs or over. thats close to 7 pounds a wheel. Well now that a think of it you could do it, 17-18 pound wheels though.
