Especially on 2-3 4-5 shifts. I may not be as fast as a DSG auto, but the .5 sec it takes me to shift is enough time for RPMs to fall enough to where it matters. And of course peak range for torque is more efficient this way.
EDIT: I'm sure a lightweight flywheel would also help it fall faster, when it's not holding the same intertia

peak torque and turbo efficiency and all that have nothing to do with it... gearing is gearing, and once the clutch is re-engaged the engine speed will match the wheel speed per the selected ratios and thats what you have to work with. the most a wot-box can do is help keep a big turbo spinning faster by burning the fuel in the exhaust mani, but we dont need that, turbos on Z's arent laggy anyway and the car has enough natural power to propel itself quickly even if it did loose boost for a split second.
my car has a twin disk clutch and light flywheel... it still isnt gonna fall quick enough that i want to wait for it!
