Good answer. I would assume the reason is because you are doing it.

Probably not. He has no idea what he's talking about. Don't listen to him.

My friend jeremy ran built 2 ls/vtec engine when the kits first came out and he melted the pistons in one and broke the piston and rod when it flew thru the side of the sleeve when he was turboed.
melted the pistons? Yea sounds like he didn't tune it to me. Melting the pistons has nothing to do with the bottom end being out of balance.
