Built Block need a balance??? Carrillo Rods Wiseco Pistons
I currently have Napa auto parts building my block with Carrillo rods and Wiseco pistons....I will also be deleting the balance shafts. Do I need to get the block balanced....Napa had mentioned to get it balanced. Any insight would be appreiated. Thanks!

get the crank balanced.....and have them match the rods and pistons together weight wise so they are all close to the same weight......all i did was get my crank and pistons balanced and assembled it myself.

Yes it needs to be balanced even if the factory says they balanced everything still have it at a minimum rechecked.
The stoker kit I bought says it was balance but I'm have the shop rebalance it even closer so I can have a longer lasting engine and be able to safely rev a little higher.

balance it and you can rev higher.. thats about it
unless you are doing a very serious NA build with titanium rods or something
you are not going to notice vibrations with K1/Carillo rods and forged pistons.. even when removing the balance shafts

ALWAYS balanance your entire rotating assembly. To do that properly they need..
-pistons & rings
-rods
-crank
-crank pully / balancer
-flywheel
-all bearings
There isn't any reason not to. You won't see professionally built engines go out the door unbalance from the companies that sell shortblocks for the tC.

You're building a performance engine and you want to skimp out on $175?!? Almost any engine shop could do that with a fast turn around. If you can't afford to have it balanced and done the right way you might want to reconsider your project. I'd be pretty worried to see the rest of your build.

dont mean to threadjack, but for all you guys with built motors already, what piston/rods did you use for your set up and why? Im in the process of researching this and would like to know differences. From what ive seen so far, Piston choices are :Wiseco; JE; CP... any others?

you never ever ever leave a block unbalanced. that's a recipe for disaster, also, nomatter how much you trust the shop that is doing your work take the thing apart and measure clearences youself, make sure theres no oil or grease on hte wrong side of hte bearings blah blah
double check your double check.
