Are you saying that any balancer of the correct offset is close enough that you wouldn't be concerned changing it?

I know for racing applications some say balance the crank with flywheel and balancer that will be used. I'm not certain how many rpms is where the balance starts becoming critical. I plan to keep it under 6000 rpm, but you never know where they may go when you miss a gear.

The balancer looks to be factory - of the non-performance variety.
