Cost me $35 to get my Centerforce Steel flywheel and Centerforce DF clutch balanced at my local machine shop. $35 is pretty damn cheap for piece of mind considering at just how much of a PITA R&R'ing the clutch is in these cars.

My car has a forged 402 in it that is internally zero balanced, so I had my flywheel/clutch assembly zero balanced as well. If the motor is stock, then I would for sure match balance the new flywheel/clutch to the old flywheel/clutch.
