At least that’s what I learned in drag boats...the 10,000 rpm 2 stroke motors would always like the lighter parts...everything would last longer.
And yes nothing is safer if you're pushing it!
First off the post was a discussion about Drilled & Slotted Rotors, not internal engine parts.
Second off you missed my point. Re-read my post. What I am saying is if you are concerned with weight and you want to drill your rotors [to shave some weight off your rotating mass] do me a favor, collect all your little drill shavings and weight it for me and let me know how much your diet worked out for you.
If you truly want to lighten your rotating mass you should buy a carbon fiber or aluminum drive shaft, ceramic brakes, carbon fiber wheels etc.
My point? That Drilled & Slotted Rotors aren't for weight savings, instead they help relieve the expanding gasses that build in turn forcing the pads away from the rotors. To back up my point I attached a screen shot from Baer brakes website explaining the purpose of the Drilled & Slotted Rotors.
And yes nothing is safer if your pushing it!
Oh and what the heck does this quote mean.
