Uh, what do you think they run in drag cars. The flywheel has nothing to do with the friction surface when you buy a good one. The friction plate is removable and it's the same one in the aluminum one as the steel one.

Whoever told you that, no longer take their advice, for anything.

If you do drop the cash a lightweight flywheel, DO NOT do the lightweight pressure plate option, you'll reduce your rotational mass too much. Call Spec and tehy will balance your clutch/pressure plate and flywheel as a unit, makes it absolutely perfect.

 

^^^ yeah, what he said. i had a alum. flywheel on my turbo cavi, and everyone was saying, ah, it is too easy to stall on the street, its tough to keep the revs up. im glad i didnt listen to what those idiots. it is an absolute blast to drive. its around the same lines as an underdirve pulley, or a lightweight crankshaft, or shorter gears, or shorter tires. youll love it.

 

well dame it comes in today got it from american muscle...isint lighter then the stock flywheel....the stel one weighs 22 lbs

 

Exactly what the Haynes book would tell you to do.
