I like my aluminum flywheel for the way it revs and gives more control with the throttle in an autox. I can let off the gas and car slows down as quickly as it speeds up. You will have plenty of torque with a bb and as long as you learn how to drive it you will be ok. I would drive it with the 3:70 gear 1st to see if you really need the lower gearing. You may also think about a lower 1st gear in the trans as a way to fix the take off.

You can also go with a lightweight 17-21 lb steel flywheel if you want to meet in the middle.

I wouldn't get rid of my aluminum for a steel as lomg as I am going to autox or trackday because of the way the car can be driven so much differently and with an advantage.

If you have a hard time with a clutch and smoothly engaging it all the time it is stongly advisable to go at least 30 lb or more.

Have fun cause it's a tough choice.
