In my opininon, you won't see much benefit from the flywheel.
You wold be better of spending the money getting a 3.9 or bigger RV8 block.
As for the aluminium flywheel discussion before, I agree with Hairbear, it is no problem in a lighter car with a 10 inch clutch on top of it. My Rush has an aluminium flywheel and never given my any problems.

I understand what your saying about the bigger block, but thats not an option at the moment. I have built this 3.5 up from nuts and bolts as sort of a learning curve. Never done it before and have no mechanical experience before this. Once its in the Cob and running (now that will be a day to look forward to!!) and I know that I can do it, I will rebuild with a 4.6 block or similar.
