[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 10430073, member: 11681"] !2 posts with a lot of fairly good tech but still no one has mentioned rotating mass. Y'all have dancing all around it, but no one came right out and said it. Overall Diameter... yes it = gear ratio change, and that can have some effect. ROTATING MASS[SIZE="1"](rotating weight for those in Rio Linda)[/SIZE] will make a measurable difference in power available to the tire. Rotating Mass changes have far more effect on performance than general chassis weight changes. The diameter of the rotating mass change can amplify the effects. If the rotating mass increases by 5 pounds but the diameter of most of that mass has also increased by two inches(the rim or barrel are heavy), it will rob more power than the same increase with no diameter change, even if you somehow equalized the gearing before hand.
