I'm deciding which bullet to bite. I drove a stockish CB with one and it was great; I'm looking to upgrade my whole drivetrain now. Would the 8# be OK in traffic? Or is the 11# the best compromise?

From this point on until otherwise briefed, posting in the general section of Performance Tech is prohibited. The only thing to remain here will be the stickies. We would just delete this section, but that would cause unintended results.
The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.
For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.
Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.
Again if you have any questions, PM me or one of the other mods.

Stock flywheel is 17 lbs, I measured.
I have a 12 lb Competition flywheel on my daily driver red Accord. There is a noticeable difference between stock in terms of engine rev response. However, the driveability difference is not significant.
I also have an 8.5 lb Competition flywheel on my white project Accord. There is a noticeable difference between my red Accord in terms of engine rev response. The driveability difference is noticeable compared to stock and my red Accord. However, you compensate and adjust your driving to the point where it is negligible. It is much like getting the feel of a new car.
Overall, stock, 12 or 8.5 lb flywheels are ALL driveable on the street. You adjust to each in terms of driveability.Last edited by HondaFan81; 03-18-2009, 09:21 AM.

more rotational inertia means more stored energy to help get teh car moving from a stop. less inertia (with a lighter wheel) means more gas/throttle is needed to make up for it. 17 just happened to be the weight that Honda decided would be most comfortable for the driver, without being too heavy to make the car bog (while trying to get the wheel to spin)
