There's more to the steel vs. plastic outdrive debate than just the weight involved. I really don't think you will see any lap time difference, even in stock or 19T, going to plastic outdrives in order to save rotating weight.

However, the friction each surface provides on the dogbone pins, as well as the flywheel effect (especially of the heavier steel outdrives) can make a difference as far as how the car drives.
