You are overthinking this.

The pressure plate is balanced at the factory, like I said in my first post. Think about it, there's not a lot of material to remove to balance, so instead they weld a weight where it needs to go.

It's that simple.

Yes, with the pressure plate disk pushed back 0.300" the force it exerts is 2700 lb. So it will require a clutch leg that's stronger than a stock clutch would.

Years ago my brother and I succumbed to the "more's better" theory and bought and installed a 3400 lb pressure plate. It was not fun to drive in town, and I now know that the engine that was in front of it didn't need it either. I think we wore the fingers off it when the throwout bearing seized. Kids!
