Message	Having more drag is a loss of efficiency. Having more inertia is more energy storage... NOT a loss of efficiency.

I never said peak power. I said power. - Kenny (9 psi) 17:10:25 06/10/03 Why don't you guys get CP or ROSS Pistons instead??? (n/m) - Antonio300zxTT 16:54:19 06/10/03 I already have it with CP.
