whats the difference between a steel and a aluminum flywheel ?

Aluminum fly is lighter. The less mass on your rotating assembly, the quicker the engine can rev.

Yes, you will notice the engine rev quicker. How much depends on the rest of your rotating assembly. On a stock shortblock, I couldn't tell you if it's worth the money spent or not tho.
