I see a lot of clutch kits include a replacement flywheel but I guess theres not much variations in whats in those kits . I may be able to source my own selected flywheel rather than a universal aftermarket type .
I have a tune and have good power and torque .I believe a heavy flywheel helps reduce rpm falloff on the gear changes .
I understand what you're saying, but unless the vehicle is specifically being built for high performance racing (Bathurst, Formula one or Rally) then I can't see you gaining noticeable improvement.
One thing you could look into is to check the diameter, tooth size and count on a Chevy 350 flywheel, compare it to your standard flywheel and decide then if you need to look next at say a 307 or a 450 flywheel. Check out the various Land Cruisers as well.
Bit of a needle in a haystack I know, but if you use a systematic methodology, you might just get lucky.
