Default Anyone with a big shot o nitrous launch on an aluminum flywheel at the track?

I'm 99% sure I'm ditching the aluminum flywheel because the damn thing bogs at the track and makes my idle kinda crappy. I was wondering if all the torque from nitrous ends up eliminating the bog upon launch with an aluminum flywheel?

You will DESTROY that flywheel on spray and probably cut your feet off!!

Warbirds alum flywheel broke COMPLETELY in two about a week after I drove it on the 10 second pass at the strip (128mph)

I want a McLeod dual disk, but I was debating between Spec Stg. 4i, a Ram 900 series, and a McLeod dual disk because the price difference is so dramatic. I can reuse a steel flywheel with the Spec Stg. 4i or Ram, but I have to get a new flywheel through McLeod for the dual because there is something special done to it to help it mate to the dual disk.

The other issue is that the dual disk is backlogged a couple weeks as well.
