28 lbs vs 18 lbs flywheel?

Essentially yes, but you should be accelerating into the launch and the Lightweight flywheel revs easier, so it will blow the tires off easiers if they spin, but will also bog easier if they hook. It's a finer line of getting it right, just like taking off on the street only magnified.

different setups require different parts... lots of people claim light flywheels dont work.... when I had 430 rwhp, my 15 lB flywheel go me consistant 1.42 60's and it ran 10.95..... It's more about wheel speed on the launch, and not bogging, launch high enough and you wont bog...

As stated before,it depends on your setup,I have a cam but i also have a 4.10 gear, it will take a little getting used to at first but after a while its gravy,also its easier on the rear end especially if you're still running the ten bolt. Pulls harder on the top end ,especially on roll races. BTW I have the monster stage 3 setup with the 18lb flywheel and the TICK clutch master cylinder and im running toyo proxes TQ drag radials and I never bog nor do I lose traction! I havent been to the track since I changed to this set up but before the cam ,exhaust,intake manifold,CAI,and a bunch of other stuff that I dont care to mention I was cutting 2.1 second 60ft times running 12.69 at 113 mph. with the new set up and the spray I should be at least a second and a half quicker!

I've decided to run a Yella Tera ultra light weight flywheel when I get a new clutch. It's only 14 pounds but, it's steel.

I have not decided on the clutch yet. any suggestions would be welcome.
I don't drag race with my WS6 but enjoy the twisties and do a timed road course thing with friends once in a while.
Maybe a SPEC Stage 3+ Clutch Kit.
So many choices.
Engine mods are MAF, EGR, intake, SLP exhaust & tune. (when I can find some time I will re - cam her for a torque bump stick)
Suspension is Strano, Bilstein and BMR
PS. this is a CA. car so I am limited to what I can do.

Your clutch packages look nice.
By the time I get all the needed pieces I am waaay up there in cost.
I can piece together a package for less than the store is posting.

light flywheels
I drove for years and years with a light and small aluminum flywheel on my only car. No issues on the street at all. Much better than a big fat steel flywheel with a high first gear (2.32) Heck my 50+ year old mother could drive that car and it had a pretty wicked cam (for the time.)
The warnings for not using a light flywheel on the street are silly until you get into REALLY light stuff - like aluminum pressure rings or tiny little 3 disk road racing clutches. The lighter you can make the disk the better the trans will shift.
