Engine stuff.. I am seeing how this will affect my Engine. I know it will be a gain, I am wonderin what your guy's inputs are.
I bought Forged Pistons and Forged Rods for the new Motor I am putting together. I had to get the whole Rotating Assembly balanced due to some differences in weight. They Balanced the Crank, Pistons(with Rings), Rods, and Flexplate. I had to spend $200 dollars that I wasn't planning on basically. It's just a 350, so what will I expect. I know that it will be running smoother..

I am trying to figure out how the Engine will perform basically, as far as response and RPM movement. Some people said it will be slower, but I see it about the same, if not faster seeing how it will be balanced.
Your new rotationg assy is probably heavier than the stock assy. I see too that it will be harder to break. You might get a few more RPMs out of it since it is balanced and forged. If you are asking about more HP or Torque, I don't see any unless U went to domed pistons or strocker.

That thing will rev up and down like you wouldn't believe. You'll love it. My friend had a 70 Dart Swinger 340 that was fully balanced. It was awesome! I'd love to have a balanced motor myself :\

I shift at 6500 bro, Hotcam with 4L60E gets the best results at that, and I'm not talking out of my ***, a Guru told me that, and that where my car will shift.

If it stops building power and droping off at 6100, don't you wanna shift at atleast 6300-6400? See, if you shift right at the peak, it drops it to right below the peak torque, which isn't the best idea. I forget where I was reading this, but you do wanna shift a bit above the hp peak.
But don't take my work for it, I urge you to shift it at 6100, then shift it at 6400 into 2nd, and about 6300 into 3rd and see which run gives you the best ET.
