balancing ?

I have been researching for years now ... and now pose the question ...




is balancing the 7MGTE worth it ? (for a "rod" ) not even a daily driver .


I'm currently having the engine machined .. and wondering if the $250.00 price tag is worth it ...



for a race unit , I wouldnt hesitate ..... but this is kinda a "show/street" unit ... soooooo ?

It's one of those things...if youre looking for moderate power, I wouldn't, but it's not that much investment while it's in pieces in case you should choose to step up later.

I'm having my built block balanced. I can't say whether it's 'worth' it, but I figure if I'm gonna do it, might as well do it right the first time.
