Internally Balancing the Stock Crank
Is this unreasonable to do to a stock LT1 crank?
355 LT1. I've got .030 Mahle pistons and Howards Cams rods which are both lighter than the stock components. Already have a ATI zero balanced flexplate, and the crank will be spinning to 6400 upon occasion.
Can the rod journal throws be lightened enough to make it work reasonably, or can it only be done adding Mallory to the rear counterweight? I'm sure it will need some Mallory, but there is a point where it becomes illogical ($$$)
