- So most you folks suggest all new clutch parts since it's out. Sounds like good advice. What about the flywheel? Should I have it lightened? Any luck there? Anyone get noticable horsepower boost? If

- Scott. Your flywheel weighs 28 pounds if it is stock. I debated having mine lightened but finally decided against it. If you are racing the engine will pick up RPM's faster when you stomp on it but t

- I just had Bill Bolton do mine. Noticable improvement. He gets 180 but needs yours as a core exchange. Recommended. No interest just a satisfied customer. blah blah disclaimer Cheers

- Light flywheels will not give more horsepower. They will give quicker throttle response & a little better acceleration in the lower gears. The lower the gearing the more the benefit. They will also

- Hi Scott here's my 2-cents-worth...don't do it if you intend to have a tractable street driver. AutoXing, high speed road, and racing are the only reasons I would consider using a lightened flywheel.

- I just bought a bill bolton lightened flywheel, but I haven't put it in my BJ8 yet. I have a question... Do you have to noticeably spin up the motor more when engaging the clutch from a standing sta

- It is barely noticeable, but noticeable just the same. Very subtle change that I would consider as a slight improvement. I do not have to spin the motor up any more than before, it just spins up fas

- I agree. I've run Bill Bolton lightened flywheels on both my BJ8, and my BT7 (which has a BJ8 clutch/flywheel set-up) for several years. A barely noticeable change at first, and then it is never rea
