A lightened flywheel does _/*not*/_ reduce the torque the engine 
delivers, It reduces the inertia of the engine which will result in the 
engine revving up or slowing down faster to enable quicker shifts (gears 
and overdrive) and a slightly acceleration. It also means that when 
starting of from standstill you may stall easy initially and the gear 
changes are effected as you have to operate the clutch pedal with much 
more feel. Drive-ability will suffer.
