Flywheel Poll, Choice of flywheel for my swap Options

[Aaagogo]

I've got a choice of 2 from David norton

1050 high carbon billet steel

T7 7075 aluminum

which one will you guys choose,

engine is 3sgte 2nd gen

tranny is the stock GT tranny

Manny, i did not mean to offend you by that

i agree with what ^ said, AL more prone to distortion, and racing parts are made out of AL is because professionals get them replaced.

I have not done extensive research on how often/operating life of racing AL parts and how frequently it gets replaced by racing professionals.

however, T7 7075 aluminum breaks down to be thermally treated and stabilized with zinc alloy which makes the AL having a high strength to weight ratio

that was y i am asking, my education got me lost right here :cursin:

here's where i'm lost at

equation, kE = kMV^2 (shd have added the k infront in the earlier eqn.)

kinetic engery = constant * MASS * Velocity squared.

as you can see from that equation, the mass is one of the contributing factor.

that is the very basic, as we go into inertia and moment of inertia of a uniform circular disk (in this case we ignore the tiny hole in the center of the flywheel) the eqn becomes I = 1/2 MR^2, M = mass and R = radius

in both eqns, MASS cannot be ignored.

basically what i'm trying to say is that mass is the contributing factor for all the eqns involving centripital acclerationa and what not.

however, the counteracting factor to the increase in kinetic energy is the newtons law, F = ma, rewritten as a = F/m

the mass reduces acceleration, however the mass yields a higher kinetic energy.

that's y i decided to do a poll and ask

i'm sorry, perharps i shd have typed all these out in my 1st post. i'm just so confused...
