I have the 9 lb one and it's great. I don't think anyone who has actually installed one has ever said they suck.

i guess im go for it, got it for 250 with c/weight 18lbs steel. let u guys now how it is

The heavier it is, the easier it is to drive around town, but the slower it revs. I think a lightweight aluminum flywheel is a good compromise, partially because the chromoly's are so expensive. When I bought my car, it had the RB aluminum flywheel, wired open aux ports, and 210k on the engine. Even with the incredible lack of low end power, I could still drive it just fine around town. No matter how hard a car is to drive, you can always get it down with practice.

The weight of your flywheel is DIRECTLY dependent on what you use it for. For drag racing, I choose to stick with the stocker.

then' whats your take on street ??

If the car is only used on the street with occasional spirited driving, then the steel flywheel is probably your best bet. It would make driving the car easier, and you wouldn't really see much benefit from the super-light flywheel. If you ever autocross or track the car, then the lighter the better.
