Depends on how good of a driver you are is what i always say. The less weight will cause the engine to drop rpm quicker during shifts. So, if you can shift fast go with the light weight.

if you are spinning it that high, and if it is goin fast enough, i would strongly suggest a flywheel that is SFI approved.

My rule of thumb is to go as lite as possible. Other people might flame me on this but this is my own rule of thumb. I don't care if it's Na, turbo or Supercharged. The more weight you can remove from the rotating mass will speed up inertia.
