How will you use this car? Drag race? Does it spin the tires out of the hole? With the DR's I would venture to say yes.

The light flywheel will allow the motor to rpm faster. The heavier flywheel will store more energy to leave hard but will punish you at the big end. If your car bogs off the line, the heavier one may help. If your car spins off the line, the light one will help at both ends.

Just the facts.

well with the 4000 stall I had no traction problems what so ever.

How much bog down is present with an aluminum?? and is it a MAJORLY different pull on the top end compared to a steel one??
