Dynamic balancing and harmonics associated with a lack of it can even effect your ignition timing at upper RPM ranges with the M96 engine. Sounds crazy.
Thats why you were such a HUGE advocate of the aluminum standard flywheel UPGRADE in WTI training at Orlando. Removal of the only factory vibration dampening capabilities is always a good idea.
