No problem. I do understand that it would be harder to go from UDP to DMD, rather than stock to DMD. Hopefully, you'll have no probs. Heck, if MY engine blows with the DMD then I'll get a UDP!!

I went from the ASP UDP to DMD, and I would never say the DMD is crap!
The engine spools up a little slower, but not much. I have an SVT flywheel, so I have experienced he difference when going to a UDP and going to a lighter flywheel.
Personally, I was sick of the vibrations. I got the DMD for NVH reasons, but if it extends engine life, bonus. I am very happy with how much smoother the engine feels.
I ran a UDP for 43K, no problems.

It's not a 2nd gen DSM.
We suffer from severe crank whip.
Also the crank whips all the time on every engine. Ours is just prone to do it more violently because the engine was shortened (and subsequently the crank as well) after it was designed. (thanks Ford  )

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

So you did it, Lance.
Do you think your UDP made the NVH worse when you had it? Because I remember you saying how you really felt it through the pedals when you're up at 6k+ rpms.
DMD for me is peace of mind.

No offense Lance but comparing an SVT flywheel to a Fidanza is like comparing a 03 cobra to a SVT contour power wise..no comparison. I am confident you didn't notice as much power loss as I did just because of that..svt flywheel compared to a 9lb Fidanza.

Now when you keep refering to power loss do you mean actual power loss or do you mean it simply revs up to where you want slower?
Once your up to full revs do you feel you still have lost power or did it simply take you longer to get to full revs?
My limited knowledge of engine physics would lead me to think the crank pulley would rev slower initially due to the extra mass but once up to higher revs the extra mass would tend to keep the it spinning easier and smoother.

Let me ask you this..
0-60 if you get to the SVT sweet spot in 2.9 sec(example)
0-60 you get to the SVT sweet spot in 1.9 sec(example)
which one do you think would provide a better time?
