lightweight flywheel w/ procharger???

hi, i'm ordering a clutch and i was wondering if a lightweight flywheel would be better than a stock weight flywheel for a D1 procharged car. i was thinking it might help get the rpms up quicker, and build boost quicker. i could be wrong. what do you guys think?

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe the only time you wouldn't want a very light flywheel (power wise) is for a turbo. For a supercharger, I believe it would be completely beneficial.

It wont make the slightest bit of difference to the things you mention.

It depends what you want to do with the car.

For a DD, a light weight flywheel will be more work to drive in traffic and eat clutches faster. For drag racing, you want a heavier flywheel for launch. For autocross, road racing etc a light flywheel is a great application.
