I am interested in some advice on whether or not to run an aluminum flywheel in a Kelmark conversion......any thoughts?

I tried a 15# steel flywheel in my Crown and did not like it.
The engine was easy to stall if you were not on the ball with RPM's.
Tough to drive smooth on the street.
I do not think there was any difference in engine speed rev up.
Alum is probably good for drag racing only.
