Lightened Flywheel -2.0l 16v

[rocco16 at sbcglobal.net (Larry Fry)]

A lightened flywheel adds no horsepower, nor does it decrease engine torque.
What it does is allow the engine to rev up (an down) quicker, thereby
increasing acceleration and deceleration. i.e. it makes the engine SEEM more
powerful, especially in the lower gears.
  It does not seem to negatively affect idle and doesn't seem to make it any
harder to launch.  At least that's been my (albeit somewhat limited)
experience.  It seems to be one of those unusual mods that have no downside.
