Default Aluminum VS Chromoly Flywheels

which do you guys perfer and why?

my true question is though which type of flywheel can withstand more abuse before warping or flexing through the use of MAJOR clutch slipping through driver input.

when i mean major i mean purposely slipping the clutch.

also it seems when i watch videos like option video or what not the chromoly flywheel equipt cars seem to rev WAY faster than the aluminum flywheel equipt cars i've seen in america. maybe thats just because they have more prepared motors?

assuming aluminum vs chromoly being the same weight of course which will rev faster and take more abuse before becomming damaged? American's use aluminum while japanese use chromoly.

Aluminum will flex first because Chromoly has a higher abuse point but most of the Aluminum flywheels available have a replaceable contact service, while the Chromoly flywheels do not... once they're gone, they're gone. But basically, chromoly is the stronger of the two when you put them side to side.
