Default Steering will vibration at idle?

I have a slight vibation at idle the steering wheel vibrates.Back in january I had it at a local speed shop for a dyno tune, the shops owner told me that aparently my flywheel was not balanced,so I called the speed shop that sold me the flywheel ,and they had sold me the wrong one,and not the one(INTENALLY BALNCED O WEIGHT FLYWHEEL) I had asked for so the shop my car was at took the flywheel down ,and had it balanced, and reinstalled it. I did'nt get the car back intially ,I decided while it was there to go ahead ,and have my Procharger installed ,and just recently got my car back,and noticed the slight vibration.The engine is a ARE built 396 with AFR195heads,TPIS mini-ram,58mmtb,solid roller 230/236.583/.595 lsa114.The harmonic balancer is ATI part#917781,and the flywheel ATI part#915541. Sorry about the lenght of my post.

I don't think the flywheel will present itself as an idle vibration. They usually vibrate at higher RPMs.

I would think its just the nature of the beast, myself. Slight? these cars shake like crazy.

If the engine was built right, it should have been internally balanced - the only way to fly.
