Aluminum Flywheel Good Idea or Bad Idea?? I think I have decided to go with the SPEC Stage 2 clutch kit. It's a toss up between the Ram level 3 and the SPEC. Should I get the Steel Billet flywheel or should I get the aluminum flywheel if they are really worth it for either clutch? It is street driven the most.

Ive heard that Alum flywheels will lose a tad in the 60' due to innertia loss, and between shifts... I havent raced mine yet to find out. I will tell you though between shifts, regular driving, I can tell a loss in innertia... the RPMs drop way faster then stock causing a occasional slam between gears where orriginally I would anticipate higher RPM matching between shifts. I guess between the ASP pulley and Alum flywheel Ive come to really notice the difference in alum and steel flywheels... but the "on the roll" accelleration is also noticably better with the alum flywheel.

Thank you. I think I have decided to go with a steel one.
