A lightweight flywheel won't show up on any dyno. It doesn't make any power. It doesn't "free" any power. And the loss of torque is off idle; not many dynos start that low.

You'll notice it in the summer with the a/c on, starting from a light. You'll also notice it in your 60' if you drag race regularly. There's a reason race cars use lightweight flywheels and dragsters use heavy flywheels.
