Stillen Flywheel question

I have been looking at buying a clutch/flywheel package for a while now and was pretty much sold on the UR 13lb flywheel clutch combo around $1,350. However today I spoke to guy at Stillen who gave me a price of $940 for their 14.2lb flywheel and ACT clutch combo. Also he told me that he could sell me the clutch/flywheel package and their ceramic coated headers for $1,450.

Anyways I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the Stillen flywheel? The Stillen flywheel is 1lb heavier so I don’t think that is really going to make much difference but I’m no expert. Just wanted any thoughts before I make a final decision.

As far as the headers go I’m still on the fence, I already have Stillen exhaust, CAI, Crawford plenum, and UR pulleys. I’ve read where some people get decent gains from the headers, whereas others say they did not receive much gain so it makes it really tough to make a good decision. Also I have a friend who is a mechanic who can install the headers for around $200-300.

I havent read anything on the the stillen flywheel. If I was you i would get the headers just because you are probally getting a little better price buying it as a package. I guess it is all relative if the flywheel is good or not

Update

Quick update.

This weekend I spoke with a Infiniti tech and mentioned that I was trying to decide between the two flywheels. He recommended that I go with the 14lb flywheel because it should be a little bit easier to drive in traffic. He also mentioned that a lightweight flywheel could make driving in traffic from day to day pretty painful.

At this point I just looking for anyone to comment on driving with either a 13, or 14lb flywheel through traffic on a daily basis. I’m completely willing to sacrifice some comfort for some performance gains. I just want to know if this setup is too harsh for a daily driver. Also if anyone thinks that 1lb would yield any real difference in rev-ability.

Thanks for the help.
