Default lightened flywheels...who has had boosted experiences w/them?

a performance shop/engine swapper here in miami told me if my car is boosted a lightened flywheel will make my car over rev and it was dangerous for a boosted car to have a liughtened flywheel. he said he would'nt even sell me one if it was gonna go in my car. what difference do you feel in the car w/lightened flywheel as far as rpm speed and drivability? i was looking at a 7.5-8.5pd fidanza flywheel
for my 10psi 250whp b16 99'civic si.

5.5LB flywheel in the built zc, 8.0lb flywheel on my girls h22, and all my other cars had lightened factory flywheels. I think people who say they hurt performance are retarded. Less rotational mass ownz you.
