A flywheel with that less of a weight Is plenty streetable. I've had a Racing Beat Aluminum Flywheel on my former NA setup and could not complain In the least. The question Is If your given Clutch Is too grabby that makes It "unstreetable", not the Flywheel.

The only thing that was bothering me is the fact that the clutch is 28 lbs lighter and much less momentum(sp) due to the fact that it is 5.5inches opposed to the 7.25 inch stock clutch.

Basically, a clutch setup like that is an on/off switch, so you can forget about driving in rush hour traffic. Also, if you have a high-rpm engine, you are going to blow through clutch disks very fast when driving in low-speed areas like parking lots.

The weight of the flywheel doesnt make as much difference as its inertia, although the weight can affect the inertia. A low-inertia flywheel spins up, and down, much more rapidly. This makes the car much more difficult to drive on the street.
