Basically nothing if you keep D17 with no FI. There's a chance if you meet with a stock Si and the driver who drives it knocks the engine(shifting too fast with too little or too much fuel) everytime he shifts into gear then you are going to win.
Eeeeeeeexcellent... Eeeeeexcellent getting a lil closer.....there's hope.
Would it be too diffucult to drive around with an aftermarket flywheel thats 11 pounds.

I had a light fly wheel on a B16A, nothing hard about driving it dialy, you just have to shift quick, a short through shifter is really nice. With the light whieght fly wheel the RPMs will drop quicker, but they will rise quicker too,

This would us 7th gen civic EX guys keep up with the stock 6th gen SI.
The problem is how fast the engine rev up is not proportional to how fast the car will go, sigh.....
You are taking off rotational speed off the motor, I'm not sure how much the stock one wieghs, but a general rule of thumb is that 3lb of non moving wieght=1 lb of rotation weight. So if you save 10 lb on your fly wheel, it would have the same effect as dropping 30 lbs off you car. (of course that is just a rule of thumb, not exact) Anyway, my guess is you can save 30lbs else where much cheaper. Taking off your power steering, A/C would help probably just as much, and cost less. This mod is usually one of the last you do in a long string of wieght reduction.
