Total overkill on a long stroke, slow revving road car engine. NSX used them to seem trick, IMO, but it does turn a fair amount of revs. Really high revving race engine stuff, much better things to spend money on. F3 engines sometimes run tit rods, and they are very long stroke, but it's so competive with different makes of engine within a couple of BHP of one another that savings in roational inertia become one of the few ways of trying to eek out an advantage. But we are talking 40K engines here.
