I believe it is similar to a light weight flywheel, I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes though. I thought I saw then at www.rx7.com and they seemed outragously expensive to me. Not too high on my priorites right now.

It's actually ACPT not ACT. www.acpt.com
Our d/s is quite short so the weight savings isnt that huge. I never weighed mine but just holding it felt only a small weight savings. However, power tranmission seems to be smoother...or mebbe i'm just imagining it.

I don't think it significantly reduces the inertial losses. The stock part is not much heavier and the diameter is pretty small when compared to a flywheel for instance. It also spins slower than the flywheel since it is after the transmission, so that further reduces its inertial contribution relative to a flywheel. I am sure it makes some difference (it has to -- it is lighter), but it is unlikely to be a very significant difference. It should reduce drivetrain shock, but the CF driveshaft is not a big bang-for-the-buck mod, so it makes sense to put it off until you have most of the other mods that give a bigger boost for the money.
