I like the lighter flywheels. My aluminum Centerforce flywheel is 17 lbs. and I have no problems with it on the street at all. You know, I don't follow SB threads or forums much, but I do find it interesting on the neutral/28/50 debate when stroking them. With some of the high end FEs, builders try and get them balanced down to just a gram or two -- so you would think just resurfacing a flywheel, would screw that up. much less slapping on an out of whack pressure plate. Internally balancing the 428 when you stroke it just makes life easier, and it's pretty common. But you do tend to see that less with SB stuff. I don't know -- maybe it's just harder to do.
