Exclamation Help with Flywheel balance

Hey guys, after hours of searching, I can't find the right answer. I have the 6.0 that is procharged with a pinned ATI superdamper. I know the 6.0 is internally balanced, so if I read everything right, am I right as in I need a "0" or "Neutral" balanced flywheel. Am I correct on that? T56 is going behind it.

You're asking whether or not the flywheel is used to balance the engine's rotating assembly? No, the flywheel does not need to be specialized to help balance the engine.

The clutch pressure plate should be mounted to the flywheel & then balanced so that an out of balance clutch/flywheel assembly does not unbalance the drivetrain.

Ok to clear it up, I need a flywheel for my 6.0 I see 2 types, internal balanced or "0" balance flywheels. I know those "mean" the same things, but Ive read "0" balance will give you a smoother ride. I only ask because now I have the ATI super damper on the front of the engine now. Sorry for not being clear
