What are the pros and cons of this mod in a small engine like the Yar?

A BMW 330 is not a good reference...

Less "rotational mass", more horepower goes thru to the wheels. There is also faster clutch engagement during shifting. I replaced the stock 15 lb flywheel in my JDM powered 1.3 L turbo Tercel with 8 lb JUN flywheel and it was a huge improvement in acceleration.

Toyota Yaris............1.5L NA.......2300 lbs....... HP=105+
Toyota JDM Tercel....1.3L Turbo...2100 lbs....... HP=160+
