Default Flywheel?

I just got a 03 gt and i was having some problems with it so i brought it back in.... found out pressure plate, clutch, and throw out bearing were all bad.... since its under my 600 mile warrenty its all being replaced for free .... but my question is should i purchase a light weight flywheel and have them throw it on for a little extra while there down there? and if so where can i find one ... or is it something thats even gonna be that much of a difference? should i spend my money elsewhere??

If you want to get one they have em on ebay. I have an aluminum flywheel, and it took some time getting used to. You have to give just a little extra gas to take off, cause of the lessened rotational mass. It helps with the hanging idle though, usually drops like a rock to idle speed. I like it. It's up to you whether you want one though, as you are the one driving.

Light weight fly wheel will make your engine more revvy and help engine braking. It will improve quarter times too. ECU tuner can also take advantage of lighter load on the engine. They not cheap though.

I would say yes. But just to be safe I would write the seller and ask him first.
