Default question ablout clutch & flywheel balancing

I bought a used spec stage 4 off a member on here, the clutch has 500 miles on it and he sent me the resurfaced flywheel he had along with the clutch. I also have a brand new spec billet flywheel. If I were to use the brand new flywheel with the 500-mile clutch & pressure plate, do I need to get the assembly balanced? I tried searching the topic, but I'm still a little confused when a flywheel/pp needs to be balanced, thanks!

I just dd a ram powergrip HD and Fidanza aluminum flywheel. Had my local machine shop balance it and he had to remove a good amout of material to get it right. I now own one of the smoothest revving LS1's ive ever been in. Cost me 50 bucks was WELL worth it. DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!

50 bucks isn't bad at all, I guess its better to do it now than to have problems later. Thanks for the info.
