A lighter flywheel will add no HP to the car at all. It will allow the engine to spin up quicker, essentially "waking" the engine up a bit. The lighter flywheel will also add to the engine braking because the less momentum it has.

I wish I had added a lighter flywheel to the Box when we did the clutch and IMS. The car feels a slow to rev...to me.

Just my .0002
