Steel or Aluminum?

[Import Slayer95]

I don't mean to sound like a "noob" or anything but I'm replacing my P.O.S. Zoom clutch for a centerforce dual friction and was wandering if I should stay with the stock steel flywheel or switch to a aluminum flywheel? I didn't know if the aluminum flywheel would warp faster or have any problems holding up? Thank's for the info guy's.

are you planning big engine mods? if so, then upgrade to the aluminum one. or simply have your old one cleaned/resurfaced. id spend it on an aluminum driveshaft. something more bang for the buck.

I love my findanza Alum. flywheel- no warping, holds up great to my centerforce clutch, and i beat the hell out of it. The engine revs faster. Either way.. Alum. driveshaft or flywheel. Both are good.

what would I have to do to switch out drive shafts? Just the four bolts at the rear end, and pull it down. I didn't know if it has to be balanced or anything like that.

I used to use a Ford Racing billet steel flywheel.

My centerforce DF lasted one year with zero track time. I'll never buy another one thats for sure. Although matched with the fidanza aluminum flywheel it was nice and easy to drive. When I replaced the centerforce the flywheel looked mint but I changed the core of it anyway because I was putting a new clutch in.

Wow...

I have always used Centerforce Dual Friction and beat the hell outta them with no problem.

you know the ring that holds the weights together? That thing broke on me for no reason at all. The weights went flying.

I had a fidanza aluminum on one of my other cars and it made a noticeable difference. :dontknow:

i say the driveshaft is a better idea.

i had to go back to a steel wheel to get the car to 60'... would bog real bad even leaving at 7,000 rpm
