Just wondering which material would make for a better clutch. Steel or aluminum. Granted aluminum is more expensive on the site (I'd be willing to pay the extra dough) I plan to order from, but I'm just curious as to which would last longer, which is more efficient, etc.

normally the only use for an aluminum flywheel vs steel is to be lighter so it will rev faster. Wear factors relate as well plus the way you drive.
