I Agree with CR on this.. if you daily drive the car use a lightened steel flywheel.I am running the prototype Mcleod RST clutch in my car now with the aluminum flywheel and although it revs up super quick and it a whole different animal now, the throttle is so touchy, its difficult to learn the 'sweet" spots on the car now. If you do want "light to light" acceleration though, the aluminum flywheel will definately reward you though!...
I have an aluminum flywheel in the mustang. I don't mind it, but if I was going to do it over I'd go with a lightweight steel. That's because I try to drive the Mustang as law-obeying as possible when I take it out. TRY being the key word!

I don't think either will be neccessarily less durable. The steel is a much stronger compound, so it will take more abuse. The aluminum will just not have the same throttle characteristics as the steel, because of how light it is. Depending on your other supporting mods, it could be great! For your average intake, exhaust, tune application you may want to stick with an ultralite steel.
The aluminum will work great on those with supercharged, turbocharged, and nitrous applications. But even they would benefit from an ultralite steel on the street!

How long does it usually take to install a new clutch and flywheel? I have good mechanic that I trust and I just want an idea how much I'm going to have to pay him since he charges per hour.
