I recently picked up a 347 Ford from a member on the site.After checking out the cam specs i find out its good for 7600-7800 rpm.For some reason they have a 50 oz balance on it.I currently have a 306 with 28oz balance that revs over 7k with no issues but a 50oz im not sure about.Obviously i know 0 balance is the way to go but thats gonna get costly.Let me know your thoughts Thanks Guys !!!

see same post above!!! as long as it is balanced and secured well .do they fly off alot!!!!
the only thing would be it hanging in one spot in storage not supported vertical it would bend .

Nah im not worried about it flying off although that could be scary lol.Alot of guys on the ford sites say 50 oz motors shouldnt go over 6500 so i was just looking for some more opinions

Bull crap! (not to you or Adam)
My motor is 50oz balanced and dumped @ 7600 and shifted @ 7200.
Go have fun with it.

Good to know Ed.I figured since it was holding up to the previous owners abuse with a 225 shot id be safe N/A.I will prob spin in 7-7200

Yup, stock block (fingers crossed every outing to the track).
Launching 76-7800 rpm, shifting 72 and going through the beams at 7000 k or a little more.
