Default Lighter flywheel and pulleys

Hey, guys has anybody experienced changing their flywheels and pulleys to a lighter one, can you actually increase and feel the increased horsepower in your car or ya'll think it's wasted money.

The flywheel is most deffinatly worth the money


Im not to sure about the pullies though, I have never personally used them on my cars but have heard good stuff about them. Just dont change the crank pulley!

I would recommend against changing the alternator one too if its of a bigger diameter. You're gonna have no current at idle

Don't f*ck with your pulleys until you're making 500 or so whp. It won't do jack sh*t. As for the flywheel, it's a good idea, since it helps your engine rev faster and eliminates some of the drivetrain power loss.

O.K. I get it, so the fly wheel is the best bet to make some horsepower, what about a camshaft, does it really make a difference, what would you recommend me, I would like something that increases horsepower between 2,500 to 5,500 or 6,000 rpm, you know how they have different durations.

A stage 2 will give you some solid gains with minor bolt-ons (IHE). ~ 12-15 horse.
