What kinda car is this going in?....

Personally, I'd just keep the stock flywheel or OEM replacement...A billet flywheel will be stronger, but as far as getting a lighter one it all depends on your gears, power band, weight and what you plan on doing with your car....

Good luck

ohh, I forgot am at my bro's computer, but they also say because the flywheel is lighter, it helps transfer more hp to the wheels, don't know how much the differnece really can be though.

Yeah it help the engine rev faster but because it is liter when the clutch engages it will slow it down so it makes it harder for the engine to move the car, just off the line. sure someone else could explain it better
