Default Flywheel recommendations

Looking to get a lighter flywheel while my engine is apart. I understand the aluminum flywheels will be lightest but i am skeptical about its durabilty to heat and what not. Can anyone share there thoughts?

I don't have firsthand knowledge with them, but I know that if you have turbo or intend to go turbo, you don't want too light of a flywheel because you'll go through the gears too quickly instead of spending more time in boost.

Im not really a fan of lightwieght flywheels. Ive only driven one though and didnt enjoy it. All the guys around my area have chromoly. What stage clutch do you have?

I have a fidanza lightweight flywheel with an ACT Stage 2 clutch and I love it. I have had it for 2 years and race my car and have no problems with it. I highly recommend it.
