A more general question. How many grams of mass removal does it take to be noticed via vibration? 10g , 30, 100? How sensitive is the motor given some say a zero balance flywheel wouldn’t be noticeable vs an external balance that has nearly an ounce of material removed.

The difference between a neutral and a factory Pontiac flywheel/flexplate is about 6 inch-ounces, 170.1 grams, wich if not compensated for will show up as a pronounced vibration over 2500 rpm.

I would guess a neutral flywheel/flexplate with an (1) oz removed would vibrate less. I´m not a candidate for testing this, i would stick to the factory parts.

FWIW
