Brent----I want to say that I'm on your side of the table here and that I am sorry the discussion slid over to you--------But being more foemally educated than I, you have the best choice of words.
I have hundreds of balance cards of bob weights of about every kind of engine used in any arena of performance from basic bracket to stock block Indy car, pro stock, top fuel, funny car, and piston, rod weights ARE all over the place----------these guys don't understand that rotating and recip weights are taken differently and that rod angles, ratios, wrist pin off set, etc are factors in the game--------

My last build pro stock engine was 1400 hp at 10.200 rpm and it ran the 1/4 quicker than these guys quick revving small blocks came off idle and got the centrifugal advance starting-----------

I will go to the shop where we have done lots of tuning and see if I can get some printouts of sb vs bb runs based on time for the graph curve-----------

Hope you didn't have damage from the weather--------

Jerry
