I don't know anything about the Ralco (although I question whether it actually fits a 54 TR4 or produces more power that you can
measure with a dyno).  

But the Fidanza was developed with input from several well-known Triumph racers; and I've been happy with mine.  One little trick to
help keep it mounted is that it is a light press fit onto the end of the flywheel.  You can pull it into place with the mounting
bolts, but I had to use heat to get it off.  After some 50,000 street miles on my previous TR3A, there was no sign that it had moved
at all.  I've heard of a lot of problems with others coming loose (although they were used in racing, a much harsher environment).

It might also be worth contacting Joe Alexander at A.R.E. to ask if he has plans for another run of lightweight steel flywheels.  I
would have used one of those, but they weren't available at the time.

Dave, I have had a local machine shop lighten my TR6 and Healey 100 =
flywheels, probably won't get as light as aluminum, but they took an =
appreciable amount off, how much depends on how the flywheel is =
made--but anyway, about $70 dollars both times, but I am fortunate to =
have a local shop run by competent "old timers" who know what they are =
doing and charge reasonable prices.
