if you buy a fidanza one it'll come with a removable balance weight of 28 or 50 oz

will it be fine for a N/A set up, pushing roughly 300rwhp?

if you going to be doing a lot of drag racing your going to want a steel flywheel, or the stock cast iron one

The stock 87-92 5.0 HO has forged pistons. The cast pistons are a step down.
