Upon acceleration, As soon as you push the clutch in on the shift, you fall out of the powerband quicker, but running alot of gear could fix that.
I say do whatever you want to do, and post about it  I can see how the alum flywheel would help power once the car is already moving, but the launch would be better with a steel flywheel for obvious reasons.
