Just to clarify, by faster i meant it got to top speed faster, not talking lap times here.
 
the real question is, why didn't the engine destroy itself?:dunno
It only lasted a handful of laps before eventually shaking itself to bits. But the interesting conclusion was the power being sapped by the balancer. I and others have seen bearing wear issues on the balancer shaft but in itself, it is not hugely heavy. As i did not test this personally i am always a little sceptical. Just passing on what i heard though.
