Engine Balancing Basics - Need help

[2FastLX]

Please keep checking this post because I will probably think of more questions as this thread gets responses.

This may seem to wander off topic a bit, but bear with me...
I will be doing one or the other options below.
OPTION #1:
Go all forged internals and stroke the engine to 393 cubes with a main support, windage tray, etc. In other words Satan himself under a hood.

OPTION #2:
Freshen up the stock 5.8L, add a main support, and drive it until I can afford option #1.

I don't plan to race the car other than an occaisional trip to the drag strip, but I do want it to be streetable and more importantly - dependable. I'm guessing I will be able to pull somewhere in the vacinity of 12lbs of boost from the T3 turbos I have and I have been told I should see max boost by 2500 RPM. I could not even venture a guess at how many RPM the engine will be turning at max HP, but I'd like to keep it under 6500 RPM.

With that said I won't be altering balance if I use a stock bottom end, but what do you think I should do if I do go with the 393 kit? Should I go zero balance or will 28 do? Any idea what the price difference would be for a 28oz balance and zero balance? Also if I decide to go zero balance, or actually if I can afford to, does it require a special crank? Or will any forged stroker crank do?

Thanks for the info and advice.
