In theory (not proved until tested).
Aluminum chassis is on the order of 300% stiffer. It should handle much better.
The suspension has been significantly upgraded and tuned to the best we could make it.
CG of the billet chassis is moved back 2 inches. I know that doesn't sound like much, but that is about the same a small block is moved back from a big block. An aluminum small block with all the aluminum goodies (flywheel, water pump, etc.) is lighter than the old iron block and heads 289's of old.
Fianlly, no matter how you look at it, the aluminum chassis is pretty cool.
