Default is 8lbs too light to be streetable?

Ive been hearing both ways too much, all i hear is....
"you want the lightest possible flywheel'! or
"that flywheel is to light"
whats the deal, I have a stock 92Si, if i put in a 8.4lbd fly, a heavy duty pressure plate and a organic race disc, will my car be streetable? ie; not stall everytime i stop or turn on AC? please lets get some noligible people in hear!

ANything is streetable.....just do you want to have to push the accelerator a little more to keep from stalling every time you take off or not.

I say 8lbs =

8.5lbs flywheel here. gotta be quick with those shifts. Idle will drop below 600 for a while when I turn AC on, but it won't stall. Funny enough, it did stall a few times when I was slowing down and shifting to neutral. wtf?
