Yep, another Aluminum vs. Steel Flywheel question - different kind of ? though...

[caseywan]

Yes, I know this has been beat to death and I have searched, but my question is a little different than the typical "aluminum or steel?" question.

I want to know which one would help even out a crazy amount of low end with the top end...

I am building a a 336 all forged stroker with crazy ported TFS heads (ran 9.3 on a NA 14:1 345ci 3200lb street car) topped with a Kenne Bell 2.2 and ported/welded GT40 lower and water/meth injection.

I know I will have a crazy amount of low end and am doing everything I can to compensate for it - custom grind cam, 3" exhaust, and am wondering if an aluminum flywheel over a steel one would help with this.

It's going to be mostly a street car that sees a little bit of drag strip time, but also some road race time here and there too.

With that, I would go with an aluminum flywheel.

The larger the cubes and the steeper the gears the less you know it is there.

If you are taking bottom end power out to hook up then you should go with a lighter flywheel.

Yeah, lightweight is the way to go. Just make sure the one you get can handle the power.

Fidanza aluminum flywheel FTW
