no, balanced is when they make everything weigh the same. blue printed is when they cut all the slag aka extra metal out of the heads and block, clean it up, smooth it out.

google didnt tell me nothing...lol had to guess at it. i thought blueprinting one was when you have all the internal tolerences set at thier peak for performance. i dont know how to word it.

i bet id spend a small fortune to have it done wouldnt i? i dont know if it would be worth it. i know itll hit 6k easily now. wonder if hitting 7 would be worth it? might wait till i get a better block one day.
