Default flywheel or cam?

I have a d16z6 with all the bolt-ons and a zex 75 shot. Which would be the best to go with a zex 59300 cam and valve springs, or a lightweight flywheel?

I can't decide hopefully you can help

well cams will actually make more power so im going to recommend the cams. light weight fly wheels are nice but with accleration they are barely noticable. the main thing your going to get out of a light weight flywheel would be with rev matcing.

i beg to differ my friend. when i went from stock to act 12lb flywheel, my car revved much faster, making it quicker becasue i was in my powerband faster(especially helpful on the gutless low end of my d16). with that said, the cam will make you whp, and the flywheel will take time off your 1/4 mile. personally, i would get the cam and valvesprings, and then just get a light flywheel if/when you replace your clutch to someehing beefier. you will need something to raise you rev limit to 7800, cause thats when the cam stops making power, but make sure it dont advance your ignition timing making it possible to detonate while spraying
