    putting the counter weigth in the rigth spot help with heavy metal .BUT if you have a heavy mass your going to add metal as well if a lite mass your cutting or drilling holes or cut counter weigth i have been there and done it .i keep heavy metal at the shop it some thing that happens i just did a 383 with a scat crank and one 1 inch slug in the front no big deal for me plug it and keep moving less then a hour of time and less then 40.00 for the heavy metal . cutting counter weight s is work to . i really do not care for pluging or drilling the hell out of them it all eats up alot of time but needs to be done stock stuff is not bad but when you use H beams or I beam rods flat top dome or dish pistons you can throw getting it done fast out the window drilling pins help as well as getting the right bob weigth the crank can suport a cheap crank as well as the big dollar cranks some times need cutting or pluging the cheap cranks are trying to cover every thing for every one that just can not happen .i have had usa made cranks that needed metal on my big crank who knows how much it will need or not? they did not know when they made it they would have to spin it with a ruff bob weigth they did not do it
