Default Stroker guys come in

Do I have to remove the weight from my flexplate if my setup is internally balanced?

Just make sure you have it re-balanced to zero. Simply removing the weight may not get it to a zero balance.

OK, how would I go about that and/or what type of shop would be able to neutral balance it for me? If I can do it myself I will.

On the same note, my stock harmonic balancer can be used for my internally balanced stroker motor correct?

Who balanced the assembly in the first place?Bring everything to a machine shop and have them balance it for you.Even if you bought it balanced,i would bring it to double check.

I bought it balanced, but I had my machine shop, Street Machines Ltd. in Thomasville re-balance it for me just to make sure everything was gravy. Anyone know if the stock harmonic balancer will do it and where to get my flywheel neutral balanced?
