Ok i bought scat rods and the shop weighed them against the eagle rods. difference is 60 grams or .12277 pounds.

So lets take an average of 6000 rpm. 6000 X .12277 =
736.62 pounds/min

then take my goal of an average of 12 seconds on the track (736.62 X 12)/60= 147.324 pounds

147.324/ 12 seconds =12.277 extra pounds being rotated per second on the track(average now)

Now does that seem right? Am I going about that all correct?
 
i dont know what youre doing :confused:

extra pounds being rotated would be .12277 x 4
if your looking for the effect of that extra weight per revolution i would think you would need speed which isnt rpms.
although im not entirely sure what youre going for.
 
I am trying to figure out how much more rotaing mass i will end up with using the scats over eagle rods.
 
I am glad to hear that its not enough to worry about. Thanks. As for the math I was just taking a shot in the dark.
