My experience parallels that of cdelena. I have the Toda flywheel and Star stage II lightened clutch. Of all the mods (header, etc.) I feel the Toda and clutch have given the most noticeable acceleration/performance gains. The engine revs much easier with a quick blip of the throttle as well, for rev matching/heel-toe, etc.
Sideways, what type of clutch do you have? Perhaps it grabs so readily that it makes it more difficult to get underway from a stop?

On the other hand, 1 lb. of unsprung weight (brakes) is worth several times more than 1 lb. of sprung weight (exhaust, header).
This is also true for the flywheel. Changing the mass of a flywheel will not increase or decrease torque or hp. Certain dyno's will measure a difference in output because they are based on inertial/how fast a vehicle can accelerate a known mass. Although your hp won't increase with a lighter flywheel, your acceleration will and that is what is important. There is never a torque loss - the engine will loose inertia and this means it will be easier to stall when starting out and conversely easier to accelerate.
