The con is that you're more likely to get speeding fines since you might get a touch more power ATW :D

you wont get more power atw, that's a common misconception....

it will however make the engine alot more responsive by freeing weight from overall rotational mass, thus making the engine feel more powerful in most cases.

If there is less power flowing to the flywheel from it's reduced moment of inertia, more power must be flowing to the load (tyres). There is no more energy produced from combustion - simply more of it being put towards forwards acceleration.

The common misconception is that a lighter flywheel makes your engine produce more power - this is not the same thing as getting a "touch more power ATW".
