Im running the comp stage 2 with the comp lightweight flywheel, its not comps super light one. Its not bad but if it was purely dd I would just stick with oem. Rev matching is much easier to do, but I would not go anything lighter than this one.
This is their super light one.

Stock flywheel is already only 15lbs. I wouldn't go much lighter for a street car. I also have comps "street" flywheel. I think it's 12lbs IIRC. I only bought over the OEM because the friction surface is thicker, so it can deal with heat better.

then there is the shifting. sure its easier to rev match a lite fly as the engine is more responsive. high rpm shifting is easier with a heavy fly. engine doesnt de rev so fast. actually helps engine stay at correct rpm for a good shift. lite fly revs down to quickly when you let off gas.
adding 7lbs fly weight to QM master twin made a nite and day difference on how well the car drove overall.

AWD cars launch better with heavy flywheels. its also much easier on the clutch. the flywheel stores energy to launch with. without it the engine has to be revved higher. with increased rpm comes increased friction at clutch. even daily driving is far easier with fly weight.

Very true from my experience with an oem and lighter aftermarket flywheel. Next clutch job Im throwing in an oem flywheel. This one was only a couple pounds lighter, maybe 2-3, and Im surprised how much that even makes a difference.

exedy hands down (have it paired with comp stage 2)
its basically stock weight, i think two pounds light, but it moves the mass to a better area that keeps inertia up so there is no effect on driveability.
