Sounds like it will move off fine either way.
(I read FWHP and saw front-wheel for a second there - heh!)

One will hopefully eventually go into a twin turbo street motor, looking for about 800 FWHP and using 3.2 gears.  I was thinking that the steel flywheel would be more forgiving with these gears, although when I ran a Dynomation simulation, my motor would have twice the torque at 1,000 RPM of a normally aspirated engine with a big cam and carb due to the cam the turbos like, so I think either flywheel will work well on the street.
