I have a new ford cast flywheel which was balanced with the shortblock I purchased.
I've heard of horror stories and seen what happens when these things decide to let go. I was wondering if I needed to worry about this or if I should just get a billet steel flywheel instead.
The application is on a 302 roughly 420 FW HP, may see nitrous in the future,
I don't plan on launching at high rpm. Car should be low~mid 12's.
Any ideas on whether the cast flywheel will hold up? If not, does a billet steel flywheel still necessitate a scattershied assuming launch rpm will not be WOT.
Also, is rebalancing (or matching) a new flywheel with the cast one possible? Or will I need to rebalance everything with a new flywheel?
