Blueprint and balance means weighing everything in the rotating assembly inside of the engine to ensure that the there is no out of balance parts. Any weight that is out of balance, be it the rod, crank, piston, etc it will rob HP.


GTStang,

MY first thought was why? And thats a big waste of time? And I thought GTStang was smart, boy was I wrong

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea. Its a true way to measure ones capabilities. If you are going for a true stock, you have have to mean true stock. Not, well you can get this part, or that part from Ford, so when I install it, its still stock. That is a cop out, of sorts. Stock is stock.

I really do like the idea. I could not do it. My hat is off to you.
