    I would just like to get my hands on a pair of those light weight
 rotors as soon as they are available.

Are you going to up your PSRU ratio from 3:1 Ken?

Lets see 2500 RPM at the prop 8500 RPM at the engine 3.4:1 :)
Ought to pop up on the step real well with 250 HP NA and
350 HP with NOS :)

I can see no other reason for using them.

   I am currently running a 2.95 but I do have a pulley to give a 3.11
to 1 ratio I figured on 8000 rpm on nitrous and 7500 on climb out and
cruise at 7000.
  I know it could be done with stock rotors but I think it would be
better with the light ones.
