Most people can't tell the difference that the 4 pounds makes between an Al and steel PP.
If the Aluminum is still available in Sport form, then by all means trade it, Thom. But I wouldn't run a weaker stock pressure plate behind a 3.6 just to save 4 pounds. Bad trade.

My shop, Rensport, got it for me, owed me a favor. It was definitely Al, or at least a magnet said it wasn't iron.
is everyone sure about the 4# difference? I didn't weigh the two, but the Al was MUCH lighter than the stock PP.
Steve is correct about Inertia, but have to add that my MB911 provided a very noticeably, quicker "spool-up" over the stock muffler. With that, I'm not sure I could feel the quicker revs just due to the PP since the muffler already was doing so much.
I really like the clutch engagement and smoothness, which *could* *might* be attributed to a lighter PP with less rotating mass.
Final thought: Chris Bennet just rebuilt my 915, we used some good used parts to save a few $. That coupled with brass bushings in the coupler, new bushings in the shifter a year ago with factory SS kit, new sport mounts on the motor AND trans and hte new clutch provided one result:
my old 84 shifts like a new 89. Just my $.02.
