I might get these fitted at the same time:

Transmission mounts look good

Yes, a a heavy flywheel takes energy to accelerate, so during the acceleration phase you will have more hp at the wheels.....

I have an alternative method to get a clutch (but only 1 unfortunately) My brother is in Braselton, Georgia (US) at the moment with the ALMS race team he works for.

There is a SPEC dealer 10 minutes from their shop, and they can get the full stage 2+ kit and ally flywheel in for $750 + $500 = $1250 or £825.

So plan is my brother can pick it up and bring it home in his bag (it weighs 14kg all in). No tax risk as he is a race mechanic rushing a repaired part back to the UK

We'll see.....
