Who makes lightweight flywheels for an N/A?

Looking around, all I've found was flywheels for turbos. From what I understand, the counterweight is the same from N/A to TII as long as it's the same series, but the flywheels are different diameters.

Thanks
Andy

Turbo flywheels and clutches have a lager diameter.

Is the diameter of the flywheel itself larger? or just the contact surface? If its just the contact surface then you can use a turbo flywheel but you will have to use a turbo clutch. If the outer diameter, tooth count, or inner diameter is different then you will run into problems.

I was able to upgrade my cobra flywheel to a larger diameter (surface area) used on 03/04s and just used a clutch made for those models and all was well.

i'm sure the larger diameter includes the ring gear the reason the sa/fb trannys can't be used with those flywheels.
