I was wondering if you guys think it would be worth getting an aluminum flywheel for my 351w?
What are the advantages/disadvantages on Street? Track?

I tried to search but it didnt work at all...

Just wanted to add one more thing I have heard from a buddy, (but it may not be relevant to a v-8 - his was on a turbo eclipse ) but a lightened flywheel may cause some additional bucking when driving slow in 1st gear (like creeping through a parking lot) because of the lower inertia/stability of thelighter rotating mass. He put on the fidanza, but it wasn't much of an issue for him. (He said it was barely even noticable) But he did confirm that it did spin up much faster... so he had to make some adjustments on the way he shifted because of it.
