    JVince, did the shop check the balance of the billet wheel to see if it was 28oz?

    Steve,
         Aside from the potential driveability on the street is there a reason not to use the aluminum one?

    And the shop hasn't checked the other late model billet yet.  My buddy ordered the new one before I could get it over there.

    Re: Flywheel confirmation

    Depends on how much torque your car makes.  The weight in a flywheel is there to help you ease away from a dead stop without lugging the engine.  Supposedly you have to rev the engine a little more in irder to pull away from a stop.  I have never driven on or known anyone who drove one.

    Maybe you can be our guinea pig, er... I meant pioneer in the field of Mustang technology.

      I'm good with that.  I know a few guys that run the aluminum ones on their moderate to agressive motors and they don't have any issues after they get used to the oddities with the revs.

    I have to admit I'm curious to see how it's going to feel.  It should be back together by the end of the weekend so I'll report my findings!
