Rep Power: 0 I heard lighten flywheel is not good for drag racing. It's only good for auto-x. Heavier disc is better. It can transfer torque more smoothly and solidily then the lightened ones. I dunno, it might benefit if you have vtec.

Rep Power: 312 the lightened flywheel adds more high end power because you are spinning less mass. So, at the low end your car sucks. So if you get a good balance then the car will work great all over the entire powerband.

Rep Power: 0 no dont go for the evo like myton78 said! evo doesnt have many after market parts out yet thus you'll be just sitting around waiting for parts while wrx owners are buying parts left and right and making their cars faster than a evo 8. personally i am trading my car in for a wrx in june 2004 for my 21st b-day. i am putting a massive down payment on it. -=] then after i get my car talking to Vivid Racing to help me out. -=]

But if you're in a budget like I was, wrx is the way to go. Vivid is a good company, but there are some company that are a lot cheaper than vividracing, check out gruppe-s.com, cobbtuning.com, speedmonkee.com, wrxtuner.com or oakos.com (cheap rotas).

Rep Power: 0 no you do not need to upgrade your stock turbo or fuel system to hit low 13's in a wrx or even 12's, just free up the restrictive cat system, once done the wrx is in low 13's easy its been proven by vivid racing with their packages(no turbo upgrade until you hit the last package) all u need is there first 2 stages and your wrx is in low 13's and capable to go into the 12's with a fuel managment system, such as the apexi . and then go get it tuned to perfection then bam your wrx is in 12's. vivid racing also have a evo8 and their new project wrx 04 cam easily stay with the evo8 no problem.
