Default Flywheel choice on 3000lb Stock-Internal car???

I'm about to replace my OZ-700 with a new Level 3 Monster and I'm looking for opinions on the flywheel. I have the 18 lb. one right now with the Tex and it has worked well with a best of 1.60 60' on DR's at 3300lbs. I'm looking into possibly going with the 28lb steel FW this time and I'm wondering if the heavier flywheel will help out enough with the launch to compensate for the slightly slower top end. If it matters, the car is now around 3000 lbs, running on slicks, and launching off a 2-step @ 6200rpm. Opinions?

Stick with the lightweight alum.

The 18lb flywheel is chromemoly, I won't be going with aluminum.

I'd go with the 18lb flywheel from Monster. Less rotational mass is allways a good thing at the track.

Thanks

Guess I'll stick with that one then, thanks.
