Id just go with one from Fidanza. I believe they make an 11 or 12 LB flywheel which is great for NA motors.

an exedy stage 1 clutch and an aftermarket flywheel should do you good. i wouldnt lighten the stock one personally. i have an 8lbs flywheel supposedly but it feels more like 10-11lbs when i picked it up. its not bad at all really. just got to get used to it.

I am 100% with you. That's the best way to go IMO.
