T-56 Flywheel Debate

Hey all. I'm doing a T-56 swap (to 2 piece rms) and debating the different flywheel choices available. Any way I slice it, I'm looking in the 400-450 range but my question mostly is about the use of aluminum versus billet steel. The Ram aluminum flywheel is even a little cheaper than the Centerforce steel one making it somewhat attractive. The car is mostly street driven with some drag race use so I think I know the answer but I'd like to know what other people are using for their flywheels in T-56 swaps. Thanks

Also, does anybody know if anybody makes a 168 tooth flywheel for T-56 swaps?

Re: T-56 Flywheel Debate

You might want to clarify if you're using a 93-97 F-body LT1 transmission and stock bellhousing or something else. 168t doesn't fit that bellhousing/starter pocket. Aftermarket options allow it, however.
