As long as you have a reasonable clutch, you will be fine.
I have a stage 3+ Spec clutch in mine with a 12 lb steel flywheel (lightest turbo flywheel I could find) and it grabs a little.
I drive the car every day and sometimes I stall it at stop signs (sometimes I leave rubber too).
If the engine speed remains above 200 rpm when the clutch is up, the engine has no trouble picking up from 200 rpm, the issue is if you let the engine come to a complete stop.
Basically tweiss is right, you will have to feather the clutch or rev the engine before engaging the clutch.
The good thing about the light flywheel is that the engine will pick right up and go.
The good thing about the stage 3+ clutch is that to launch all you need to do is shove the gas on the floor and let the clutch up gently when the revs pass 5500 rpm (don't try this with a weaker clutch).
I had the car in to have it aligned a while back and the technician was having a lot of trouble keeping the car running driving up onto the alignment rack. I drive in the country most of the time, I seldom stop, so the setup works for me (don't even mention Chicago traffic please).
I had a Fidenza (sp?) flywheel on my NA drivetrain (aluminum) and with a stage 1 clutch it was very drivable. I doubt that you will ever go back to the old flywheel after getting used to this one.
