Default Which Flywheel for a A4 with a new balanced engine?

I've read that the stock flywheel/ flexplate is used to balance the engine in many cases. I guess I'm best off leaving that flywheel with my old engine due to it still running fine.

What flywheel/flexplate would be a good choice for a balanced 427? New stock one or an after market steel or aluminum?

I don't think it really matters. Your new engine I am sure is internally balanced.

With big HP, you might wanna consider an SFI flexplate from Quicktime.

Looks like RPM Transmission is the one that is listed on the Quicktime website to sell the flexplate. Looks like I'll be giving them a call monday morning.
