i know napa has a machine shop, i use them frequently, but they send the balancing stuff out because they can’t do it on wehrle.

think of it like a washing machine out of balance. engine balancing will ensure longevity of my bearings at high rpms. at 8k rpms the slightest weight difference could chew a bearing and ruin lots of time and $$$. while this isn’t a no budget build, it’s not exactly a thrown together setup. i’d rather spend a few hundred to ensure its right than lose everything i’ve got into it.
