I assume you are doing this on the 91-9K. I also have a 91 with inactivated BS's and a 15lb lightened stock f/w, it revs way faster. I have an SD copper/kevlar clutch, and the combo is slightly grabby, but you adapt quickly.
Now, of the top of my head, the stock 91 f/w weights about 22lbs, and you can take them down to around 14-16, the Aero f/w is much heavier, I think around 28, so even a drastic lightning job is only going to take it down into the low 20's. Because of that, I would consider other aftermarket options for an Aero, because a 15lb flywheel has fine drivability. There is the difference in final drive ratios between the two cars that could be a consideration though.
