Balance is the biggest reason I chose not to get the torque tube lengthened. I'm hoping to finish with a near 50/50 weight ratio like the C6. Balance is starting to get expensive though........a "G" note for aluminum heads (to lose 80 lbs) for instance. Just received my 66 corvette gauge cluster and glove box today. Aught to be fun trying to get that mocked up.
