Default Lightest/strongest/best billet flywheel???

I am looking for a billet flywheel for my 2001 WS6 for when I go to put my clutch in. I have a SPEC clutch and was wondering if I should go with a SPEC flywheel or how good they are. I pretty much am looking for the lightest one that's still billet and strong to hold up to power and yet be able to spin faster and get my car up and going quicker.

Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Also if any advice on a pressure plate and anything else recommended for change at the same time I do all this would be helpful too.

Fidanza?
SFI?
Spec?
any others...?

I don't think anyone is going to have any input for you without knowing what you're using the car for. I've always been taught that a heavier flywheel is used in drag racing applications while a lighter flywheel is more for road/highway use.

I'm by no means any sort of an expert on this, so I may be off on what I told you. If it were me, I would copy your original post and repost in the manual transmission forum
