Also can someone share with me the effect of reciprocating mass on response and acceleration...reciprocating mass hits 0 velocity at top and bottom of stroke but the increased peak velocity as speed increases should have an effect right? Something I haven't thought much about.

oh man, i wish i could answer that..i kinda have an idea..but i don't think im good at explaining it. I should ask my uncle, hes an engineer that builds aircraft engines for boeing and builds Hydroplane engines for a hobby. Fucking smart ass people in this world, makes me feel like an idiot sometimes. Homemade WRX has got this in the bag, especially if hes got plenty of crazy EJ builds under his resume.
