Default Do I need to Balance my short block....

Im going to use a 2 bolt block with ARP bolts, with a steel crank, with some scat4340 forged I-Beam Rods, with Speed Pro hypereutectic's .030 over. And ofcourse with ARP's all the way around! Do I need to balance it or can I get by without it? This is my first LT1 Build.

And I will be using LE2 heads and custom cam. But thats for the top end. lol

definately balance it! The stock crank is better than cast steel... everything else looks pretty good imo.

Ok, so a stock LT1 crank is better than a forged steel crank?


And can someone show me how to get to LE website. For some reason I cannot find it. And I have been on it a million times lol

Its the option the car came with out of LG motorsprots. Its a handling package that comes on the car that most camaros dont come with. Its really just a Z28 But the "R"
Stands for the package. And it was just easy to use as a user name!

And what the **** would I buy a Honda for???? lol

Most forged cranks are stronger than stock. When u posted "steel crank" I assumed u meant cast...
