Elec WP is free HP, but at a cost $$, (make sense?).
Alum flywheel will change alot of the cars characteristics, as it will rev freer, but it will also lessen the 'hit' to the tires when you dump the clutch.

well right now i launch at an idle so about 786 Gs on the drag sprip with 315 nitto drags 100 traction on a 17inch rim. i burn them all the way throught 1st i have to tack the rev a few times so i get the speed out of the gear. burn them half way through 2nd.
and like a quarter of 3rd and cherp 4th a the end of the quarter mile. and this is with my nittos squated a 12 pounds. what would make more sense? for power and gains

Oh absolutely worth it. This water pump in particular is absolutely fantastic in terms of the quality you get for your money. An aluminum flywheel would definitely alter your car a lot more than you want.

I'd suggest working on getting more traction, rather than more power at this point. From what describing, your wasting a lot of energy and speed spinning your tires.

Then 13.731 @ 100.75 mph 2.020 60ft. Steeda UD, plenum spacer, ported plenum, Magnaflow CB. Street tires

If you do you something then get the aluminum flywheel. It'll cause the car to not launch quite as hard so it should be a little easier to keep traction. Then the lower rotating mass will definitely help once the car hooks and is rolling. I felt a big difference in the last half of the track when I got mine.
