Get an aluminum flywheel, lighter weight and your car will rev a little quicker.

for you ...unless your down to the last of mods.. just do stock and save the idea of an aluminum one for later when you are scrounging for mods

I agree stock would be fine although getting a lighter one may be a little advantage weight wise not that u would tell much diffrence other than the revs

An aluminum flywheel on a stock engine prolly won't do much, it'll rev quicker but that's about it. And you need a 50oz balance factor. The weight of one isn't better per se, but is the balance factor that the engine was balanced with, use the wrong one and it'll vibrate like a ****, possibly even snap the crank.
