Default Anyone heard anything about aluminum flywheels?

I was just wondering if anyone has heard anything about anyone releasing aluminum flywheels anytime soon for the tc2? I know act now has clutches so im hoping they will have some soon to follow.

Lighter flywheel would be nice especially if it helps with rev hang, which in our vehicles is forced by the computer, but a lighter flywheel would help incrementally.

Exclamation

By the way -- ACT only has it available, at present, in their ProLite line, which isn't recommended for daily drivers. These are their ultra lightweight flywheels, which many people find much harder to drive than stock. If they offered a flywheel in the StreetLite line, which is still much lighter than stock, I think that's what I'd recommend for most people.

I'm probably going to hold off on a flywheel upgrade until I can get something heavier than the ProLite, especially since I'm thinking about installing my NST lightweight crankshaft pulley soon which will have a similar effect on rev drop. ProLite + NST lightweight crankshaft pulley would probably be murder. Swap out the ProLite for the StreetLite, however, and I'm game.

Perhaps and hopefully the mounting of the flywheel is similar or same to tc1 flywheel, rather than that be a mistake.
Anyone in contact with peeps @ fastscions.com on this?
