   a lighter flywheel will improove acceleration, becuase the fly wheel will weigh less it will take less energy to get it moving faster. So the engine should respond faster.
   
   However, if you make it too light you will loose lots of tourque which is a bad thing. Im sure your aware but i will say it anyway, if its not balanced again you can kiss good bye to your steady idle lol

   lob away that superchip and get a specific map done for your car on a rolling road to get the best out of that cam. The super chips do next to nothing...

   does your clutch actually need replacing?

   flywheel i wouldnt bother with. clutchwise speak to saxodaffy on here see what he is running.
   
   remap wise, if your gonna go the turbo route, youll want standolone management so may aswell get that first aswell and have that mapped, then change it when you need too
