the concept of running a heavy flywheel is correct, for the first 15ft. after that you are just dragging around all the mass of steel to try to accelerate the car.
you will have to adjust your clutch release and launch RPM, but you will be quicker and faster with the aluminum flywheel.

There was a real good article in one of the recent Car Craft or Hot Rod or Popular Hot Rodding mags that explained the physics of and it and then they backed it by using a 5.0 mustang that was running consistent high 10's and the results were pretty stout. I forget them exactly so I don't want to mislead, but the physics of it were very convincing and the proof was on the dragstrip. I tried searchin the web for the article, but no luck. If I can dig it up I'll forward a copy if you are interested....
