Yes, that is what I said. It will be faster but the vehicle will travel some measure of distance before it is faster than it was with the stock flywheel.
There are so many variables that go into realizing the benefits of a lighter flywheel it is just not a slam dunk they will be beneficial for all applications. There are also downsides that can contribute to other failures, especially if used on a daily driver. Considering all the options to go faster, and how much contribution a perfect application of a lighter flywheel can make, a lighter flywheel is way way down my list of a cost/benefit value ranking.
