aluminum vs steel flywheel for stroker

These light flywheels you are refering to are for Roads race or oval cars. Not for street or drag cars. Maybe that is why in some instances they need a push of the line by the crew. Will your wife jump out and get you going on a hill so you don't smoke the clutch.

Motors with light flywheels sound awesome in nuetral. Very quick reving and sound like they can tear a house down. Until you let the clutch out and see what happens with no inertia weight to keep the motor spinning.

There is one here right now. It is very hard to pull out on a hill. But it accelerates quicker if you leave off to shift and the resume throttle.

But if you want a car that is easily driven. Stay away from aluminum. The heavier the flywheel the more energy it stores and it is harder to overcome that stored energy on engagement of transfering the power from one source to another.

We have a Fadenza Aluminum on our super charged Omni. The impeller on the supercharger makes up for the difference in the flywheel weight loss. We also did the samething on our truck. But when the super chargers were removed the steel flywheels went back on.
