Could you not have the standard flywheel lightened?

How about the billet flywheels got to be the best option or as said above get the fltwheel lightened and balanced and the clutch balanced too.
The billet ones are more pricey

I was going to get the standard one done but then saw the billet options so thought it might be worth getting one of them instead ?

I've heard several story's when people have the standard one lightened that's why I was always going to go for the billet one myself before I went boosted.

flywheel --get std one lightend if yuo wish --butno flywheel will increase bhp of engine --just possibly make it pick up rpm quicker --so would not be on my list at this stage of engine mods
you don,t say you have throttle bodies ,

so I presume you don,t .
using high lift +duration cams without t/bodies will make a very poor running car at the lower rpms --and makes your power band narow
so if not going t/bodies then you will be limted on cam choice .you also not not say you have c/r gear kit ,so car will be overgeared fro best race track performance ,so habing limted power band will not be good .
get t/bodies -then cam spec is easier and then c/r gear kit
