No experience with resurfacing but my experience with lighten flywheel has pros and cons. You do gain more torque and power but only on flat grounds. Uphill is a struggle and will burn your clutch a lot sooner.

Depends on how light the flywheel is. Shaving off a few pounds from the stock flywheel shouldn't cause any issues....it's the 12 pound aluminum flywheels that cause issues
