Default What flywheel?

So I am almost done putting my new motor together. One of the last things I need is a flywheel. I have an 11inch centerforce df clutch that will be going in and I need to match it with a flywheel for an 8bolt cobra crank. I think I'm leaning tward an aluminum one. What do you guys suggest? Car when it's done will have close to 500rw through a vortech. thanks!

Go for the aluminum. Don't fall for the internet myths out there. You will not stall in traffic and you won't bog on launch.

I put a modular alum in my 2000 gt and the difference was noticeable. Definite improvement.
