[QUOTE="Jerryk, post: 1614706, member: 4259"] Interesting... you think the aluminum flywheel isn't as grabby or you think it doesn't store enough energy and is easily brought down in speed and allows the engine to bog and thus a softer hit? The person who switched to steel, what were the before/after 60' times and what was the setup? I definitely think a steel flywheel stores more energy then aluminum and would be a benefit on the launch, what I don't like is the added wieght of the flywheel after the first 60' ;) Seems like for drag racing the flywheel wieght issue is 6 one way, half a dozen the other. With steel, what you may gain in 60', you lose in parasitic drag and vice versa for aluminum. The deciding factor then is how heavy is the car and how steep is the gearing (how much propensity to bog is there). Our cars are obviously very heavy and w/ stock 3.55 gears hard to accelerate from a drag racing perspective. [/QUOTE]
