Question Which flywheel 28 or 18lb?

I am swapping my car out to a T56 and was wondering what flywheel is a better fit for my application. The car is just a cruiser on the weekends with probably 1-2 trips to the strip each month averaging about 6-8 passes total. Car probably gets driven about 8k a year.

Engine setup will be a forged 347 with about 9.8-1 compression and 15lbs of boost at max but usually around 6-10 average. Car has meth and boost controller. It's a TC-78 with a FMIC.

I am going to go with a Monster stage 3 or 4 unsure on which one.

Thanks

for your setup, I'd go with the heavier 28lb flywheel. The car will take off from a stop much easier and since you're going to a 6spd with a turbo, you gonna want the heavy flywheel to help keep the car from bogging while you wait for the boost to come on when you lauch the car.
