I'm taking out the Fidanza aluminum one that I have in my 32 at the moment - just too light of a flywheel for normal street driving . . . have to slip the clutch a lot as it doesn't have enough reciprocating weight to make normal standing starts as easy/smooth as I'd like them.
I'll report back how I like the new one (once this dang shutdown of the world is over!).

Please do. How much did your aluminum weigh?
