Default Flywheel + F/I

So i have a Turbonetics ST kit on stock block on my Z and im about to upgrade my clutch and i also wanted to upgrade my flywheel, but my question is would upgrading the flywheel affect anything due to me being boosted?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the noob question.

search is your friend, but to answer your question it will not affect anything.

if you are changing your fly wheel to something close to half the weight of stock, expect chatter. best way to lower the noise is to up your idle to 850rpm.

and change your tranny fluid while your at it!

It chatters loud in neutral so I have to keep my foot on the clutch pedal at all times. Going back to stock flywheel this Winter...

It's the flywheel that causes the chatter, not the clutch...

It chatters and is loud and the stock is more well balanced.Then any aftermarket flywheel. All it does it rev faster with no load and quicker decelerate. It has no hp gains, you might spool up alittle faster.
