What kind of power can I get from a lighweight flywheel?(low end? ... etc)
And also how much HP does a JDM(10:1) engine have??
I've heard so many different opinions and really I don't know what to think.

None. The revs will come quicker.
150 I believe.

hence making the car faster???
i will never understand this... if you buy LIGHTER pullies for the left side of your engine, and it gives you HP, how come a LIGHTER flywheel on the right side doesn't???

The engine will rev faster.
However, as a side effect your engine will also make marginally more power in the first 2 (maybe 3) gears due to smaller rotational inertia of the flywheel. In higher gears you might actually loose a couple of horsepower due to a lighter flywheel.

nx2000racer,
The pullies are actually smaller in diameter, thus slowing your accessories down and gaining HP.

the majority of hp gained by lighter and underdriven pulleys is the loss of weight, not the underdriving.... read up on unorthodox pulleys, they have some info on their faq, i believe.
