Help... Plz

Im putting together a rotating assy. for a ls1 383 build. I'm looking at cranks from texas-speed and I was wondering how do I get a balanced crank if I have the rods here at home and i'm still shopping for the pistons?

What Rods? The split (big end and little end) weights should be on the box...or on a card inside. Give them these weights and they can figure the total bob weight.

If you have brand new rods with a weight card they could do it that way,,,However the best way is to make sure they have all the parts, I had mine done by a local shop and he weighed evrything as an assembly (even the wristpin clips) and then numbered the rod combos according to their position on the crank. If I were you and buying the crank and pistons from TSP and want them to balance everything,,,,,I would ship them my rods so they have everything and you know its right.
