this is my opinion.
lighter flywheel = less rotating mass less rotating mass = less inertia less inertia = less energy wasted to get the rotating mass moving which means that energy can be used elsewhere. like moving the car theoretically you wont notice it except in lower gears where internal resistance of the engine are greater(compared the what the cars weight is) due to gearing && torque amplification. so yes, fuel economy/performance will increase SLIGHTLY correct me if im wrong.

i personaly think that the light flywheel wouldn't be that bad if you have supporting mods(i/h/e)...i have a fidanza flywheel for my s13 and it seems to be pretty good for top end...there are arguments on you'll lose torque if you do the light flywheel, light underdrive pulley but then again idk....i say go ahead and do it because that's how you'll know if you like it or not.......if this is your first mod i don't think you'll notice much difference though...
