Yes a racing machine shop. I think based on what I've experienced, I'd say yes get it balanced, if you can.
Obviously this one (pressure plate) was bad, but driving around, the engine is smoother, revs quicker, even sounds different.
And thinking about all the trouble engine builders go to when they balance a performance engine, why wouldn't we?
Especially since it it really more or less an assembled series of metal components. There are a lot of variables.
We balance the engines, we balance drive shafts, flywheels, wheels etc... so why not a pressure plate. No matter what anyone suggests, I am always going to go with my gut and balance every one from this point forward.
My starter is still acting up, so I am going to try and figure out what is going on with that, maybe tomorrow. It's a tight fit in there so not an easy job.
