For the same price as a 10/10 unit, Berg will take your old good std/std 
crank and add counterweights. I have one and it's just fine. The only problem 
is that you have to wait until they are willing to do a run of them. This 
problem may be worse than it used to be.

You have to be careful that you don't increase the venturi too much. If the air 
velocity gets too low at idle, the engine won't idle well. This needs to be 
matched to your displacement.
