is this not a common path you 7m guys choose?

Yes...my motor is balanced and blueprinted. I look at it as more of making sure the motor will last. Vibration is not good for a motor...especially harmonic vibration on a high HP engine. Also, don't be tempted to use a light weight crank pulley...the 7M has a harmonic dampner that is designed to fight vibration. Use the stock crank pulley or an ATI dampner.

i plan to retain my stock on, and have it balenced with the rest, i really want an ati one but i think a bigger turbo will make me smile bigger at this point..


did you notice any difference before and after?

I'm standing on one foot !

But seriously it costs very little and is just good practice when building a motor!

It won't add HP but it will give returns in longer engine life and smoother running!

interesting read...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Supra

"All four generations of Supra produced have an inline 6-cylinder engine, one of the few known piston configurations which is perfectly mechanically balanced, leading to very low vibration from the engine.

80k on the bottom end, and My engine runs like new, and it is so smooth, I actually have to look at the tach to know its running.
