Flywheel question

[barthy00GT]

My mods are as followed. BBK full length headers, BBK X pipe, Flowmaster cat back, P1 Procharger with a P2 3 core intercooler, and a BBK 75mm Throtle body.

As of yesterday I ordered a Dual Centerforce Clutch along with the clutch adjuster and some other parts to make the install right. I will also be adding 3:73s when the clutch goes in.

My question is for the set up I'm running should I get a light Flywheel or a heady Flywheel. The car is driven on the street way more than the track. I'm leaning alittle twords the light Flywheel because of faster accl and lighter load on the motor which to my understanding frees up more hp/tq.
If I should go with a heavy flywheel It would be awsome to have a reason behind it please. Last but not least what brand should I go with and where should I buy it for the best price.

The car is more show than go right now. As you can see.

Sick flames - I really like. Got any better pics?
How can you say more show than go with a P1 in there? ;-)
The lightweight flywheel will spin up faster, but, of course, won't store as much energy. For the street or occasional track, billet steel is a good compromise.

Where do I look into buying that flywheel?
What is the weight of that flywheel compared to the stock one?

I'll be getting better pics sooner or later.

I don't have an answer, I just wanted to compliment the car.

The only reason to go with the heavier one is for ease of drivability. It would help get you off the line just a hair easier. There's no doubt that the lightweight flywheel would improve overall performance and maybe even gas mileage. All you would have to do it adjust your driving style(mainly the initial rpm when you get the car moving). I'd go for the lightweight route,definately!

Thanks for the complements and all the info.
I'll post newer dyno numbers after the flywheel and newer pics.
