Thoughts on Engine Sound at High RPM's (kinda long)

I don't think the roughness/harshness is an issue with resonance TBH. I think it mostly has to do with the fact that the engine isn't balanced. You almost never see

I think it mostly has to do with the fact that the engine isn't balanced. You almost never see a v6 revving up this high, especially not one with this old of a design. It's really not possible to have a smooth, high-revving V6, and our engine just helps demonstrate it. EDIT: Yes, a heavier flywheel would likely smooth things out, but that's not a performance knock I'd be willing to take... Especially since it likely would only make a VERY small difference...
