Default Flywheel-Choice?

Hi i currently have a fidanza flywheel in my car which is almost ready to be boosted and the contact face on the flywheel is very worn out that i think its wearing the clutch too because the clutch is making a squealing noise expecially in reverse(Act 6 puck & extreme pp).

Now the choices that i have when i change the flywheel is:-

1. resurface the fidanza(get another contact disc for it)
2.Exedy (9.5lb flywheel)
3.Stock flywheel(Gsr/b16).

Note the cars gonna be boosted with a t3/t67.So getting into boost quick wold be helpfull.
what would you go for??
Your help would be appreciated.

Puck style clutches always squeal when you slip them, it's normal.

ACT 12lbs flywheel

And I believe that the gsr and b16 flywheel weight the same 18lbs, it's heavy!

There is none.


Although I'm sure some tool is going to spew some crap about better launches with a heavier flywheel. More crap about inertia and "getting out of the hole" is sure to follow.

More power to the wheels + better acceleration.
However, it does take more skill to drive (and launch) with a light flywheel.
