Egay cast manifold
T3T4
Freshly rebuilt Trans
LSD Dragger unsprung
450 DSMs

It will rev quicker and put down more power to the wheels with lighter, slightly hurt spool because less load.
Stock one, faster spool, slower revs. Personally I like the light ones because of how quick the motor revs.

Fuck using an unsprung disk on an AWD they are harsh on the drive line and box.

Because we see lots of flywheels coming apart? 

I'm sure it will be fine, I've shaved the shit out of stock flywheels and have never had a problem. I've also used lots of non SFI flywheels and never have had a problem.
