Spec flywheels Steel or aluminum??? I am trying to decide which flywheel to buy with my new Spec stage 3 clutch, it would be nice to save some weight off the car with an aluminum flywheel, but I'm not sure if it will have any negative effects on the car. I don't auto cross, mainly drag/street race, not sure if that matters. What would be better for me, a steel or aluminum flywheel? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I was told that aluminum was mainly for autocross, Sooo if you are mainly street/strip then steel is the way to go. With that aluminum you are gonna rampup(rev) real fast!!!

The SPEC alum weighs in around 12-13lbs. The steel is 23.5 lbs. If you are looking to cut some weight and rev a bit faster look at the aluminum. I would not get the aluminum for heavy track abuse. The good part about the spec alum flywheel is that it has a removable wear plate that you can unscrew when you want to change the plate.

We have used the alum flywheels on a lot of applications. Right now we have a car using one pushing 580ft lbs of torque on nitrous with no problems yet. Most of the high HP cars we do opt towards the steel billet.
