Default To lighten or not to lighten?

The oem ITR flywheel since a new clutch is going in in readiness for a turbo install soon. As it has to be resurfaced anyway for the new clutch to engage as I'm having a problem in getting it in gear with the new clutch, I thought maybe I should get it lightened and balanced at the same time.

Is it going to be beneficial for FI power? I'm looking at around 300whp.

The supplier doesn't think its the clutch and said they had the same problem and resurfacing the flywheel solved it.

So I thought why not take a bit more off to like maybe 12lbs.
