I like what Andy pointed out about the steel wheels shocking the tires loose... I experienced this first hand w/ the previous setup I ran (Centerforce billet 10.5" wheel and D/F press. plate and disc w/ Tremec 3550, E/T streets)... I switched to a McLeod 11" aluminum wheel with a 10.5" SoftLok adj. press. plate and sintered iron disc along with a Jerico DR4 and love it!

The steel wheel is also said to be harder on the drivetrain vs. an aluminum wheel (and if you run an adj. press plate it's even less of a shock to the tires and everything in between) as I was told by Red @ McLeod (among all the other "stuff" I had to know to setup the clutch properly)

Aluminum flywheels are a good thing, if you make enough power or plan to in the future... I believe you get the most from one in a 400+Hp combo. But hey, a 5 horse gain isn't bad.
