What am I missing here? I thought any time you removed metal from the
surface of the rotor, be it drilled or slotted, that you remove surface area
and not increased the area. If my math is correct and it probably isn't, if
you drilled 25,  <" holes you would lose 3.025" of area. And if the rotors
surface is 2" and you put 10, 1/8" slots you would lose 2.5".

Help me if I'm wrong.
