[QUOTE="sdg97232, post: 13424389, member: 92943"] I have a fidenza aluminum flywheel and centerforce dfx clutch in my mach and don't really like the setup as my mach is my DD. From a performance stand point ohh yeah the flywheel made a difference (I installed it with my t56 swap and an aluminum driveshaft) the engine rev's so much easier now and really climbs through the rpm's quickly and the car pulls HARD. With that being said now we come to stop and go driving that our DD's spend most of their time doing and this is were this combo isn't so hot. The heavier steel flywheel crates more inertia at lower turning speeds thous it will pull the car away from a dead stop easier with less rpm's. The aluminum flywheel will require more rpm to pull the same load meaning you will have to rev it more to smoothly pull the car away from a red light. When I 1st finished my mach I had to relearn to drive it, it acted nothing like it did before it went under the knife. Even with 4.10's if you bog it and let out the clutch it bucks like a bull but if it gets to much rpm it darts away like I'm racing someone. It took me awhile in the seat to get the feel for it, if you're not looking for every once of performance from the car and are going to be using it as your DD for a while I'd say stick to steel.
