Default Which flywheel.. billet steel or alluminum?

I am about 99.9999% sure that I am getting the Spec III clutch, and I was wondering about the flywheel? Eastside Performance and Dyno has a GP on the clutch.. $469.00 with flywheel?

Like $359 + - without the flywheel. Should I save the money on the billet and get the aluminum?

I'm going with an aluminum flywheel but it’s on a street/road race car. If you are going to be drag racing, the steel is better suited to your application.

It will be driven mostly on the street, no road racing or autocross, and little strip action because of busy schedule. It will see some track time but not a lot. <img border="0" alt="[USA]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" />

Aluminum flywheels are great for street driving and autocross, just don't expect any amazing launches at the strip.
