It always seemed to be beneficial in our applications to reduce counterweight mass. Whether this contradicts engineering theory or not, I don't know. But we never experienced any detrimental side effects from it. Crank longevity didn't seem to affected by it either way. In a street engine, it can't help to also be a benefit I would think. It obviously hasn't had any ill side effects in your stroker combos either, has it, or you wouldn't have kept doing it, right.
