what are you doing with the car? you road racing it or drag racing it? most rr cars use a liter flywheel to help rev/ keep the revs up. and drag racers mostly use the heavier flywheels for rotating mass. either way i'd get a sfi flywheel.
my dd uses a spec stage 3 clutch and 14lbs alm. flywheel.

Fidanza makes an awesome aluminum flywheel, I have it in one of my cars. Light, high quality, and the clutch surface is servicable by you, on your time, not when the cranky machine shop guys feel like turning it for you. Just buy an extra steel friction plate or two so when you need to change a clutch, just replace the steel insert and put it back together.

Plus one for an aluminum flywheel.
