flywheels don't give power, torq maybe but not power. a heavier flywheel will help you on launching but the lightened flywheel will rev faster. As always there are good and bads about both. Also if you have a really good holding disc you might have to use a steel one as the aluminum might just get eaten up. Me personally i have driven cars with lightened flywheels and they do rev pretty good but i could never get them to launch as good. either you bogged or you got your rpm's up so high you just spun.

lightweight flywheels suck for launching off the line but kick *** from a roll. Pick your poison.
