Who has had high speed shaft balancing done and how did it work.

I have a vibe around 60- feels driveline generated with George’s 5:38 gears.

Ready to dial in this rig.

Thanks

Had both mine balanced at a local shop, not sure if it was high speed or low speed. I don't think it matters unless something is wrong where your shaft is deflecting at higher speeds. Otherwise imbalance is a linear relationship and balanced at 1500rpm is balanced at 3000rpm as a practical matter.

Denny's Driveshaft advertises high speed balancing. I believe 5.13/5.38 would need about 6,000 rpm.
