1. Not remotely close. Diameter plays a huge factor in the effect of the weight/mass. So does gearing. There is no set number nor could there be because of the infinite variables.
agreed, I was assuming that the dmd was same diameter but sticks out farther. what does gearing have to do with the dmd? I was using an example if nothing else changes but added weight, obviously if other things change you cant use that.

2. The DMD is ~1lb heavier than stock. I have no clue where you heard 4lbs, but I weighed the SHO unit, stock & the DMD on a digital package metering scale back when I first got the DMD. (you can search the archives for the exact post too)
no need to search, I was told it weighed about 4lbs more. I have no proof therefore we will go with what you said. I guess maybe 4lbs heavier then sho? should have checked faqs before posted weight.

Also your .5 second slower claim does not take unto account the DMD run started from 2400rpm and the previous run 2700rpm. That's a 300rpm difference; easily .5 seconds. Matter of fact using an average time for 300rpm that is around 1 full second making it .5 seconds faster in acceleration!
yea, looked at the full sheet this time, (I mentioned before I didnt look at it all, didnt have the time) yea according to the sheet it is .5sec fast to that rpm.

Plus since the DMD stops the crank from flexing it easily could make more power gaing back that what is normally lost to high rpm crank flex. This is well within logical reason.
with this added knowledge I would agree, but I had 4lbs in my head therefore I did not think it could gain back the weight and add power on top of that. but only one pound and minus vibration, I could agree.
