9bhp is not the whole storey (I am talking generally here, no reference to anyone of anything specific)..
its the way they drive and getting as much power everywhere, at all throttle angles, all rpm ranges.

Yes..
SC power isnt HUGE! but it is very fast.... but very tractable..
As Andy says cams and itbs are close to SC low boost cost... but they are different in delivery..
about 10 bhp

I would always start with the management as then you have an open book as to which direction to go
So Yes personally I would wait

Personally I use AST dampers. We sell both.
I find the KW's dont give the chassis control I like in comparison
I like the fact that I can re valve them, the build quality is excellent.
These are my personal preferences

A world 1st, Dan and Fred agree on something...
I have to agree, on a TOP engine it may be worth it, but I certainly havn't bothered on any of my engines for myself.
A decent balance as the guys said is far better, removing weight from the flywheel is as advantageous really in this instance.

Re: Cup TT ??
20v engine is good, but its heavy so needs MORE power
Min 300bhp to make it worth doing.
To do it properly though is not easy, as it needs engine mounts, alot of subframe work.
if its big power custom shafts are a must as well.
We tested some throttle bodies last week
with the PTFE gasket in place after a normal road drive the inlet run was stone cold, normally this would be quite warm

We used to find on the rollers I have used in the past that wheel calculated speed is reasonably accurate upto certain speeds. but they as the tire inflates and heats up the losses were inaccurate.
So on higher revving engines this of course causes errors.
