"I'm surprised that there is a 3 to 4 HP gain from no shafts (per MAS). Considering how much a 3 to 4 HP gain costs $$$, it might be worth more study. I did not think that even accerating that no shafts would have the same affect as 3 to 4 HP"
It might not be so straightforward a calculation as it may seem. I'm no engineer, but I think that an engine that is less well-balanced (and consequently vibrating more) will sacrifice horsepower too. After all, it takes (and robs) power to make the engine vibrate more than it has to.
