Jon,

An aluminum flywheel will be slightly more difficult to drive smoothly on the street. If your applications is mostly street driving and a few HPDE events I would stay with a steel flywheel. I recently switched to a 7.25" multi-disc clutch and button flywheel. The total weight of the clutch, flywheel and ring gear is 17.4lbs it is very difficult to start out with the light clutch and flywheel. Its like driving with a toggle switch for a clutch. Since my car is strickly a track car this is fine for me. Make your determination based on what your application is, the few hp that you are going to get back by going with a light weight flywheel in my opinion is not worth it for a street driven car...Just my opinion...Mac
