Default what flywheel to get

So im looking at flywheels and I don't know which one to buy. Im installing a 6.0 in my car soon, cam, 243 heads, fast intake, I have a built 6 speed, built moser 12bolt, I have a new upgraded centerforce clutch, do I need a aluminum one? Car will be almost driven everyday, beat on, street racing etc. I should make a max of 450rwhp with all my supporting mods so what would be best for me.

I believe in making a clutch as light as possible while still keeping it street able. So Ya go with the aluminum one

Monster makes an 18lbs billet steel which can tolerate more heat than an aluminium unit of the same weight.

if you're street racing i think you should go with a 28lbs unit...you make more than enough power to support it. more flywheel weight can also mitigate some of the vibration coming from the engine...i realize that this isn't in the popular school of thought but it is my .02

I really thought mine was aluminum, but you are correct it's listed as billet steel. Even better I guess.
