I totally agree with reducing the weight of recipricating parts but to knock a full second off of a 10 second car seems a little hard to believe.

JMO,
i believe him totally. he is correct. harmonics play a big roll in automobiles. example, you want to build that 347 to hit 8 grand right? what do you do? high quality, less weight and balance it. therefore it will produce more power. try to run with one shoe size bigger on one foot and both shoes weighed the same. i bet you can run as fast as with them both the same size. balance, harmonics and lightness is correct. of course Jim doesnt realize he is lucky to get those materials and tools to do what he did. none of us can do what he did. well i should say the majority of us.

i always wanted to find the "free" horsepower, but it cost to much to do it!

Jim check your PM.
