Don't do it!! You risk annihilating the local space/time continuum and we will all end up drinking dark matter through a worm hole out of each other's asses.
The only hard evidence, done by a tuner on these forums, whose name escapes me and I can't be bothered looking for him because this has been done to death all ready, is that if you run a lwcp AND a lightweight flywheel below a certain mass you will destroy your engine. This rule is only applicable to these engines; other engines have different criteria.
The only benefit to having a lwcp is the bling.

That's what I keep reading: either its no big deal and the gains are negligible or it will make my car explode instantly upon installation. If I want to make my car faster I'll save/wish for the funds for a turbo and supporting mods
