I'm looking at the Monster 2 and wanted to see what the pros and cons of the lightweight flywheel are.

There are tons of threads on this, just do a quick search. To sum up the basic consensus, heavier flywheels usually are better for drag racing and lighter flywheels are better for road racing. Though people do mix and match based on their preferences.

i actually just asked this same question a week or two ago here and jimmard summed up all the responses that i received. steve from monster will prolly chime in here. with the mods in my sig, i ended up ordering the chromoly flywheel and can't wait to rev it for the first time!

As said, there are a million threads on this. Light flywheels got a bad rap in years past. NOW, that more and more are out there (people wanting to try it for themselves)they are finding out that they are liking the light flywheel for the street. Dedicated street car, I like light. If for ANYTHING, it hits tires easier than the heavier fly, which makes it easier to hook up on the street. There has been dozens of lightweight setups sold over the last couple/few weeks, and people are posting right here, and they are loving them.
Comes down to personal preference though.

How does it feel like compared to the stocker? I am nervous as hell about clutches. I got a Spec stage III 4-puck in my 83 and that is a bear to drive. I don't want to do that to the 99.

I was considering the same thing but heard some folks say they had to leave at 1500-2000 rpms, which I don't want to do. Maybe that isn't how it is.

Could the lighter flywheel make it difficult for the car to find idle right away coming down in rpm on a h/c/i car?

I have honestly found NO difference in going from a stock clutch setup to a Monster Level 3 with a chromoly flywheel. 7lbs. lighter total weight, but no driveability issues at all. If anything, the Monster setup drives BETTER than stock. Even for drag racing. My ET didn't vary ANY with the new setup. Within one tenth from previous passes and that was after upgrading from a 10 bolt to an S60 and a chromoly DS from the stock aluminum one.
