As I recall you said this is an aluminum flywheel. The big concern I have
with them is that they enable a bit more movement than steel--softer, easier
to flex, etc.. I've had two of them come adrift. I might use an aluminum
one, but I'd add a lot more bolts than the four stock ones. And I'd
certainly use ARP, and I'd watch the length carefully so you get full
engagement and not much more. And locktite. And dowels. I doubt the recess
does much, but as usual, I could be wrong.

Thanks for all the responses about the origin of the flywheel. Seems it's a
Fidanza wheel by all accounts. Is anyone running one of these units in a
race car? if so, care to comment?
My trepidation is based upon the fact that the engine side of the wheel is
flat, that is, it has no recess for the end of the crank to register into.
Is this the hot lick for racing, or should I consider it only a good street
unit?
All comments appreciated...ok, strike that...all pertinent comments
appreciated!
Runnin in circles myself...
