I talked to a guy that raced 4 speed cars for years...
He said the steel wheel was worth ET and mph over the aluminum having ran both..
He said it was because when shifted right ( power shifted ) the engine is at X rpm you pull the next gear and the added inertia of the steel wheel pulled the car up and the motor down less on everyshift more of a snatch than the aluminum. I guess that sort of makes sense... He said If I was not power shifting the Steel would not help.
