Normally there is no difference in labor/price for internal or external balance. If "heavy metal" is need to internal balance, that would cost additional.
Since we have not seen or worked with the new Eagle crank, could only speculate on what is needed. Hopefully, by this time next week we will have had the opportunity to check out one of them.

I think with 260CI I will still make over 1200hp and

Alex,
You are correct, they do not look to hard out here unless you are in the bottom 10s of faster though.

John,
Funny this subject just came up. I was talking with Orlando(local buick guy that has went 10.0@134) and he has all stock stuff.(balancer, crank, rods, etc..) I mention this crank to him, and were talking about the additional cost to do it right, and he mentioned Moroso(our local track) has not really bothered him about his balancer or flywheel.
So I guess unless you are running 9's or faster, or you have a SOB for a tech guy @ your local track, you could get away with the stock stuff.

he said that his rods are $180 each.
These are great rods but we are looking at $1080
