A balanced crank offers very little in the way of power, and they shake bad until reved up. Save up for a billet flywheel, it will rev up faster and less likley to come apart at high revs.

for reliability, i would either get the crank balanced or get a billet dogbone for your engine to keep the synchro balance from coming apart. as well as a billet rod. your engine is not built to run at the rpms that your cam will allow.
