just remember one thing however much weight you remove on a rotating part the engine thinks that it is actually 4 times that amount that it has to overcome---probably not a very significant amount of et but when coupled with weight removal in many parts it does add up to reduced overall et-- any competent machinist can lighten a ring gear---Comp 387
