Re: Great article - Balance Shafts!

I've read to get that torsional whip you would need a very high revving engine, higher than like 11K I believe it was which put the balance shaft spinning at over 20k..was reading about f1 engines which used to go up to 24k before they put a ban on the rev limit.

Re: Great article - Balance Shafts!

You know what else will make your car last 200k miles? leave it the fuck alone.. But that's not really the point to our hobby, nor why any of us are here.

You want to increase your car's performance beyond factory limitations? There is going to be a trade off in increased wear and an associative decrease in reliability. If that upsets a person, perhaps this is the wrong activity for them.

*edit* I would also suggest several points are more aligned with a marketing agenda than anything else.
