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.

in the process of doing the conversion on a 3000 is it worth it to lighten
the flywheel or even get a aluminum one
