Hahaha Scotty its me.
My only issue with aluminum flywheels are they are inherently weak. With heavier clutches and some power you are gonna more easily create hotspots on the flywheel leading to faster failure. aluminum flywheels at aleast in the DSM world are renowned for literally flexing the plates, so a chromoly is a better bet.
However, 300 horsepower is what you plan on, and you dont plan on dumping the clutch, an aluminum flywheel will be fine, but for 450 bucks I definitely wouldnt do it, considering the risks of heatspots and failure.
The driveability issue is for those that are pussies.
