Default Lightened flywheel?

Will be changing my clutch soon as its just hanging on! Im running stage 3 low comp approx 350bhp on my 3dr, is it worth putting on a lightened flywheel on with the new clutch? Cheers

the answer I have given is the correct answer period roflol
if however you owned a 4x4 cosworth my answer would have been different

I am very helpful
what more do you need from me
I have saved you quite a bit of money
please remember your question has been asked many many times on this and other forums and some times we experts get fed up with having to explain and justify our free advice
the 2wd cosworth has the perfect weight flywheel

you could waste it on a light wieght flywheel and then change it back to the correct weight one
what people seem to forget is that your car was developed as a competition car not a road car
