motor balancing

quick idea debate here. im thinking about taking my motor in to be balanced. im talking head, crank, connecting rods. (first ill add the cam i want... which i havnt decided on yet) but i want to keep the motor in best condition i can. and a friend of mine told me about his granparents old ford pickup that they had the motor balanced. the damn thing still runs today. should i or shouldnt i? its defonitly a future plan. but i figured ild ask.

Re: motor balancing

Well if you tune the VCT correctly (I only know of about 3 cars that have) you can get away w/ making nice power with just an intake cam/gear.

i ment both cams. i didnt think you could only change one, i always figured you change one youll screw with the geometry, overlap and the sort.
