For most applications, a heavier steel flywheel is just fine, especially with a Cobra that's support higher rearend gears and a cam that's a little on the rowdy side. I've ran aluminum wheels in Cobras and you can tell the difference when you're taking off from a dead stop.

Hey Brent,
Elaborate on what the "difference" is if you would, lots of opinions on steel vs. arruminum...curious to hear your thoughts.
