You're telling me that the car accelerates too quickly to build as much boost as you did before, and that's somehow a problem?
You realize you just said the car accelerates faster, right? You caught that part coming out of your own mouth, yes?
I liked the light flywheel on 8cw crank, but didn't like having to slip the clutch more to launch the car, it did also make me loose traction a lot sooner and for longer time in first and second gear. Those two gears are the most important to me with the driving I do, so 4cw crank and stock flywheel it is.

I like lightweight too, though I will say my VE didn't like stock flywheel, 4cw crank, and gspec pulley past 7k rpm.
