You would be suprised. You need to come up with a mathmatical equation to figure out what is better... the weight savings in the aluminum vs the forged. John shep has aluminum i believe

The same thing can be said in the case of... what is better... 2.0L block or the 2.3. The quicker spool time vs the higher rev limit. John Shep runs the 2.0L block.... what does that tell you?
