Default Confusion About Flywheel

Well, I've read so much, and heard so much, that I can't decide!!! I am thinking about lightening the Flywheel. I understand the workings in doing that and some of the consequences. The thing is, I don't understand how all this theory applies to real life.

I don't race, I just want my car to get going fast! So let's say I'm at a freeway entrance and I need to speed up to get into traffic! Will a lightened flywheel help? What about when I'm at a dead stop. Will I get to 60 MPH faster with a Lightened Flywheel, or would I be better with stock?

I've heard it could affect the torque, so will it slow the car down? Some say comfort is reduced. What does this mean?

I was reading that with a reduced Flywheel, I would free up more HP on each of the lower gears, so would more HP per gear justify a little bit less torque overall? Like I said, I don't race, and I rarely go above 140KPH, but I like to get there quick. I like to feel my car pull when I hit the petal.

Any thoughts or explanations on Flywheels? Would you recommend I do it, now that you know my intentions for my car?

Thanks
