I just bought a Exedy chromoly steel flywheel and it is still lighter than a 25lb stock fly wheel. I believe it weighs 16lbs and I have heard nothing but good things about exedy.

Well i plan on using either the same ram clutch i have or getting a new one, so i am gonna get the ram version steel or aluminum...After more poking around i think i am probably gonna stick with the steel.. Seems like no bad reviews VS an aluminum..

Sure you will be happy with it if you go that route.
