Im thinking of putting a stage 2 or stage 3 clutch in my car. While swapping the clutch out i was thinking of changing the flywheel as well. I was thinking about having a 4-6lb flywheel engineered.
What do you think ?

Well, to be honest to engineer a flywheel that light any heavy duty
clutch pack will lunch it in ten minutes with any decent HP
Fidanza and I are currently at logger heads over their 9lbs as
my motor lunched it and the clutch pack they supplied even though
they where given the HP specs and useage .........

About time you used the search fucntion........
the only way to go super light is a flexplate with a 2 or 3 pack
clutch.

9lbs is light enough. Stick with the Fidanza.

You could use a Quartermaster or Tilton flywheel with one of their 7.5" or 5.25" dia clutch set-ups if they are still available but I haven't seen them listed in there catalogs since at least 1998. They have 2 advantages over a standard machine flywheel and single disc clutch. Very low stationary mass and the rotational mass is centered closer to the axis of rotation meaning that it would take significantly less energy to accellerate or decellerate the clutch and flywheel assy even if they were to weigh the same a similar conventional clutch set-up..
