4CW vs 8CW vibes
with all the talk in the other thread here about light weight crank pulley VS oem with rubber dampner this made me think....
when i was a DE (8cw crank of course) driver i vividly recall not only the sound of the engine @ 7500-7800 rpm, but more importantly the feel. a very distinct pounding as it approached fuel-cut. it felt as though it was ready to give up the farm if i didn't shift very soon.
now the VE (with its 4cw crank) is a completely different animal altogether.
its almost rotary engine smooth up high in comparison. really freaky if you've never driven one and you just climbed out of a good running de.
so, the question is this...is it a function of the 4cw crank throwing less weight around that makes the ve smoother or what? does putting a 8cw de crank in a ve bring back those bad vibes/pounding at high revs? inquiring minds wanna know
thanks guys,
