Default Lightweight flywheel or OEM??

I'm in the process of building my b18c1 for boost. I have a gsr trans w/ quaife lsd, and i'll prolly go with the comp. stg5 clutch..I'm not sure if i should resurface my p72 wheel n use it? or should i go with a lightweight wheel?? i'v heard pros n cons for both, but im looking for some solid opinions!

and whats a good weight if i were to choose one??

What turbo are you planning to go with? Is it a quick-spooling turbo for low-end, or is this like a track monster?

Both of those are large turbo's and will spool up at a fairly higher RPM. A lightened flywheel can help speed that inertia up from a dead stop or from a roll, however the same part that makes your revs increase faster, will make your revs drop quickly as well, meaning you'd have to shift a little faster.

Personal preference in the end...IMO, I'd go w/ a lightened flywheel especially w/ a heavy duty clutch as that. What stage 5 clutch were you thinking about?

Upgraded PP?

Why a stage 5 if I may ask? How much torque/whp do you plan on producing?

i'll also be on 24.5" slicks at the strip so i'd rather be safe then sorry
