Your friend is clueless. Your clutch and flywheel have no effect on your GEARING.

I think your friend might be mistaken. Once the car is in gear, the clutch is not being used, but the flywheel is spinning. With a lighter flywheel it is easier for the motor to get high RPMs because it has less weight to spin. Just do a little research of how your clutch works, the difference between stage 1 and 3 clutches, and how a lighter flywheel works. 20-30 minutes online and you'll be able to tell you friend how hes wrong.
Oh, and good choice on getting a stage 1. It will make daily driving easier.
