Re: ??? About Crank and HP
The stock crank is good for 1000+ HP, the stock 6-bolt rods are good for something in the 525-600whp range. Most aftermarket off the shelf pistons are not designed to work with the stock rods. Your best bet would be to pick up a set of Eagle rods, if you want to run over 500whp consistantly.
Pros of the balance shaft elimination are a very small HP gain and not having to worry about the balance shaft breaking from high RPMs or wear and taking out the timing belt with it. Cons are higher oil pressure, if you do the stub shaft. This is mainly only a problem for oil filter housing fed turbos. There are ways to fix the oil pressure problem, even with the stub shaft.
