I have seen some people say that its steel, others say its aluminum, I have no idea who to believe... Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Oh and I am going to go with the Centerforce DFX clutch.

If it truly is ~60% lighter than stock, ask the how much their flywheel weighs then multiply by 0.60.
I find it hard to believe it's that much lighter.
Like you said, the motor revs damn fast without a light flywheel.
The stock flywheel is not aluminum, the drive shaft is.
One more thing, it will be a PITA driving it on the street with such a light flywheel.

Thanks, yeah they told me on average their flywheels are 60% lighter than a factory unit, but thats for all of their aluminum flywheels for all cars... Yeah I just want to make sure that I am going with one thats close to the weight of the factory unit.

a stock 03-04 cobra flywheel weighs about 11-12lbs. and IS aluminum in stock form. a stock fly for any other modular car is about 24lbs....

i put one in my 01' cobra along with the clutch. cars revs much nicer now....i also have no problems driving /launching the car with the 4.30's... =)
