Dan, I was convinced to go for a Fidanza aluminum flywheel, and I think it’s too light for the street. Yes, it makes the engine rev faster which is entertaining. But it, coupled with a fairly aggressive cam, makes the car buck and snort when trying to inch along at very low speed. I have to use the clutch and rev the engine far more than one might expect—almost like a smaller-displacement Ferrari. Lori’s engine has a stock flywheel and has pleasingly truck-like characteristics at walking pace. An intermediate-weight flywheel would probably be the best bet. Mike Sent from my iPad

164 tooth and personally I'd go with a billet steel flywheel for a street performance engine

Does anyone know what tooth count for the flywheel? And what is better for a performance street Pantera, steel or aluminum?
Thanks, Dan _______________________________________________
