I wonder if there's something to be taken from that on a high rpm race engine.
Maybe a harmonic balancer?

No they just aren't as smart as we are.
Oil pressure is the issue, not lightened parts. From the get go with just pictures it was obvious that we would have high demands for oil pressure. Unfortunately it took a lot of R&D to get the oil pressure we needed.
I'll be moving onto our external oil pump shortly and then the dry sump. We already have it all and just need to start making brackets etc.
