    Tease.
    "Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

    I think I know what you're talking about.

    most people don't know this, but when upgrading to big brakes, you're suffering more driveline loss.

    I've heard, anywhere from a 3-7% loss in hp, as tested using a chassis dyno.(your flywheel hp is the same) basically, you're increasing the diameter, & moving the moving the moment of inertia further out, requiring more effort to get it rolling.
    but we all know how dyno's are.
    read this article from C&D.(very good read)
