first let me say balanced is the way to go


then let me say this

i had a stock 383
replaced the stock cast pistons with TRW forged dome pistons and ran 11 teens without any problems

had a stock 76 440 short block
took out stock rods and cast pistons
replaced with eagle h beams and wiseco forged flat tops
ran 10.60's with no problems

my new 511 is balanced because i wanted it perfect

balance it if you can but if not
