Yes I am an engineer, albeit a computer engineer. I well understand the looks fast, must go fast draw of many mods. Hey, been there and done that. I am pleased to see that there was no claim that a lightened flywheel actually added horsepower (you would be surprized how many young turks sing that tune).
A lightened flywheel will improve acelleration, but the effect diminishes as your row up through the gears. The window for heel/toe downshift is also short as the inertia of the flywheel causes it to spin up and DOWN faster.
Also dont ignore the mass of wheels, tires, and brake rotors (these are all hooked together in the drive line). For example, rotational inertia is one of the knocks against large rotors. But that is a subject for another thread.
