Question Rotor clearancing

Hi
If I´m gonna get my rotors milled/clearanced! Do I need to get other counterweights.?

Are the counterweights the same weight as the rotors so I could basicly mill them to weigh the same as the rotors once they are lighter.?

A friend of mine is a very skilled cnc maschinist and would do it for me if possible.

Or is it a job for the pros because it probably involves balancing and stuff.?

Maybe run a little more oil pressure and call it a day.
Everything else is a waste of money for you.

If you can get them flowing, power potential is pretty high!
If it's possible, it should break 200bhp (flywheel) pretty easily.

Ah, that was in reference to a recent thread by Icemark and being able to hit 173hp at the wheels with a surprising minimal list of mods.  It looks like the 6port motor has a lot of potential when minimizing all the airflow restrictions like the intake manifold and porting the plates.

This was not meant to imply anything dangerous.
