Ok so i dropped the rotating assembly off last night.
The shop was so sick. He mainly balances jet engines for for Boeing and Rolls Royce. It was cool to see a big ass jet turbine sitting there. Im looking forward to getting this engine running.

Few weeks.
I could have it done next week if i wanted to but im not in any hurry at all. I work 70-80 hrs a week so not much time at all.
And im building another engine for another car right now also that will be done before the cobalt.

My thoughts
A rough intake port is more helpful in a carbureted naturally aspirated application.
Most of us here are supercharged or turbocharged and we are fuel injected. Our fuel gets sprayed a third of the way into the port. So I think you're going to get all the atomisation from the turbulence air and the fuel injector. So I would rather have a perfectly smooth intake port.
These are my thoughts from what I have gathered myself.

Just picked everything up from balance technology it all turned out so sick i can't wait.
He balanced the crank pulley bolt, flywheel bolts, pressure plate bolts. I thought he was crazy wen he said he did all that.
He even balanced the clutch disk and the pressure plate.
Its all balanced within 0.002 inch grams (whatever that means).

My first engine wasn't balanced. It ran fine u just get stuck with all the vibration. Not much more than stock if any.I don't think u will spend as much time above 6000 rpm as i plan to.
