Lighter weight flywheel???
I have the standard weight flywheel with my Mantic single clutch and considering a lighter weight flywheel when I install my udp. Any suggestions? It does see time on the street so a complete lightweight road race version is probably not going to work, but what other options are out there?

Unless your primary use of the car is road racing, it really isn't beneficial; it has adverse effects on the street and at the strip
I planned to do a bit of everything, so I was told by both Monster and Mantic to stick with the standard flywheel
I ended up getting the Monster LT1-S (C7 pressure plate and twin discs) with Monster's 28lb flywheel

I went from stock 26lb?, to 18lb steel flywheel, to now my Mccloud 13lb aluminum. I didn't see the drivibility loss. maybe because I gradually stepped down in weight, but I can leave the light on just clutch and not stall. granted this is opinion, find the happy medium for you, possible 15-18lb range

I was surprised when I weighed my stock flywheel and it was only 21lbs, and that the disk/pressure plate combo was 19lbs. I put in a 18lbs flywheel and the Monster pressure plate /disk that came in at a surprising 23lbs. So no real gain/loss, also the mass of the flywheel was on the outer edge along with the pressure plate and disk (12 inch). So there was no difference in the drivability feel. I was hoping to reduce the rotation mass to allow faster drop off of rev's for quicker shifts. If I were to do the clutch/flywheel again I would go with a 10 inch double disk system and have more mass removed from the out edge of the flywheel to center the rotational mass.
