RedCSX1,
From what I have been advised in regards to flywheels, the heavier 28 and 30 pound flywheels were designed for a much heavier car than a Cobra, 3800 pounds and up, more inertia to get more weight moving.
In a car that is only sporting 2200 lbs. a lighter 15 lb. flywheel will still generate plenty of low speed energy while allowing the engine to rev up quite a bit quicker. I am keeping my steel flywheel while for now but am asking the tranny vendors I approach to bid out an aluminum flywheel in my gearbox setup.
