Default OEM Flywheel to Aftermarket?

Well im building a new motor and im wondering if I should look into getting a new Flywheel. The one i have is from 1993 and its obviously a little worn.

Other than having a new part, what are the benifets of say an Aluminum Flywheel?

Or any other option for that matter?

Tony.

You mean flexplate? You can get a lighter flexplate, but most I think opt for a SFI Certified one to help prevent cracking the plate on higher stalled, or higher output cars. TCI, ATI, Fidenza all make them, and not sure who else.

With a flywheel maybe because they generally weigh three or four times more than a flexplate. I've never heard of an aluminum flexplate.
