Default Stock crank and balancing.

I guess alot of you have noticed that I have alot of posts lately concerning the rotating assembly. I was wondering if any of you guys had to spend a fortune in mallory metal getting your crank balanced. So far I have the stock crank, Scat 6.0" rods and Mahle piston. Does this sound o.k?

It depends on how much power you want to abuse that set up with. The
stock crank balanced with those pistons and rods will work. Depending on
how poorly balanced your assembly was from the factory, you might pick
up a good amount of hp/tq.

I guess you are referring to the top end. At this point I'm thinking LE3 or some stuff From AI.

the car is a toy, It may see some strip time. I just want to see if I can get all that's possible from the engine. The bottom is a stock crank w/6" scat rods w/7-16 screws. I will have main studs, staying 2bolt. Boring .040 with Mahle FT's getting the CR between 11.5 & 12 to 1 Block will be decked for cleanup. Is this more informative?

Replace all of your bolts and studs with ARP stuff. Also, why .040" over? What's wrong with .030"?
