What size and how thick are the pins? .990 x 2.93 are usually about 10 grams per .010" .150 wall 150 grams, .170 wall 170 grams etc...I wouldn't worry about lightening the assembly 30 or 40 grams but more than 50 I'd rebalance. I've got a set of .990 x 2.93 .170 wall je pins, 170 grams with less than 10 runs on them. I could possibly trade, if they where the same length and diameter.

Taking that weight off is a good thing as you know. Re-balancing to the new bobweight would be the best solution. I have some BME pins and Venolia Pins. (used) that may be quite a bit heavier than what you have. I can make you a killer deal on them but that's not my first choice to correct the balance. PM me if you want me to weight what I have and go that route. I am guessing my pins will get half of the weight back in. They are very thick taper wall pins.

Another option is pin buttons . But , taking 80 grams off the bob weight is probably a better idea. A couple % overbalance on a pontiac or on small block wedge engines is probably a good idea too . I like BBC's a little underbalanced.
