Question lightweight flywheel for daily driving

hey guys
to everyone who has a lightweight flywheel, do you think its something good for daily driving? i know it makes the engine rev faster, but dont you need to rev the engine higher to get the car moving? in my mind, this would cause the flywheel to warp quicker under DD conditions like stop and go traffic, especially stop and go on hills. On the other hand, i would like the extra power once im moving.. what are your guys' thoughts??

I have the JWT clutch and flywheel. Easy to drive, revs quiker and its quiet. I had the tilton set up. that was a pain to drive and noisy. but it reved like a mad man. and made the car accel like crazy.

I have the JWT lightweigth flywheel with the Cltuchmasters FX400 clutch and it drives just fine. It takes a bit of getting used to at first but after a bit it is as easy to drive as stock IMO.

I have the JWT combo and it's fine as a DD. I do have a problem with the flywheel, and maybe it's just me not use to it, but I feel that the car drags a bit at lower rpms.

To a point it will since you have less rotational mass to get you going.

yeah, i was worried about warping because you would need to rev higher to get the car moving... great posts so far. i hear differently on the 300zx boards (the flywheel will be going on a TT 300zx)... they say it'd probably be better to do other things first and its not that great of a mod. hmm, mixed feelings.
