I agree with the blow proof bell housing but for a street driven car I don't think the aluminum flywheel is that big of a thing. They will wind up a little faster, but you also lose some of the deceleration when you get off the gas and have to use the brakes more. An example of this is me and a friend of mine who had identical set ups except he had the aluminum flywheel and I had a steel one. We came back from Weaverville, which is up in the mountains and on a very twisty road, it follows the old stage couch route. I hardly touched my brakes at all and he was having to use his all the time. He told me afterward that he wished he had put a steel flywheel in as when he down shifted he was all the way into the corners before he could even feel any compression start and he watched my brake lights and only saw them come on for a second a couple of times.
