Sounds like *speculation mode on* a lightened flywheel would be less desirable 
with a 3.54 rearend *speculation mode off*

Yes, it makes sense to lighten the flywheel. It will provide a more dynamic 
feeling to the engine...more throttle response. The downside is that the 
car will have less momentum when starting off. However, I have found the 
trade-off well worth it. 

I would stay away from an ALI flywheel. This is for more high performance 
cars and no necessary for street cars. A better value is to simply have 
your existing flywheel machined to remove some extra weight....or purchase a 
steel one.
