lighter flywheel losing torque???

I know several people in my area running flywheels ranging from 7.8lbs to 12.5lbs and no one has ever suffered this stalling when going from high RPM to neutral (pressing the clutch in). Mine did have some idle issues that were alleviated by cleaning out my IACV but nothing related to stalling due to RPMs dropping to fast.
Maybe we should have a poll, is this a common problem?

Anyway... I chose to go with a 12.5lbs flywheel, but now I wish I went lighter. I couldn't tell much of a difference off the line, but when it starts to rev, you'll love it it revs faster and faster to redline. When you're matching revs while downshifting, you'll love how much faster the rpms come up too...

It will kill the motor when coming down from high rpm as there is less weight to slow down. The computer doesn't react fast enough to change the fuel to regain idle.
