I drove a friend's 370 that had a light flywheel and stage3 clutch, and it felt day and night different fom my stock junk. Also much easier to drive, and blip downshift. I just figure there is room for more lightness in the revs to make it like a Honda touge racer. One of the biggest complaints from pro drivers bout our vq's is how slow it revs
I dont really believe that its relative to it being 1/2 the weight. The Subaru STi we work with here are notorious for this issue. The OEM is around 18.2lbs and pretty much once you get under that 12lb mark you can expect an intermittent p0300 for random misfires. I believe its simply in the ECU coding, atleast thats what I assume. An engineer at Nissan might say otherwise though haha
