I agree with Lucky's comments. I had a LW flywheel/sport clutch installed in my 3.6 RS America (964)...the engine rev'd very freely and worked great on the track, but was simply not the setup for street driving. The engine would hunt or die when the clutch was depressed at a stop lights (if I didn't modulate the throttle) since there simply wasn't enough rotating mass to keep the sensors/DME happy.

I've made two modifications to my 3.2 Box S which has greatly improved throttle response. Before mods, the engine hesitated on downshift throttle blips. After replacing the stock airbox/feeder tube withe Evo Hi-Flow unit and adding Fabspeed secondary cats bypass pipes/sport muffler, virtually all hesitation has been eliminated. I believe the engine breaths much more freely, accounting for the change in behavior.

Go ahead with the LW setup for track use, but be aware of the pitfalls that accompany the changes.
