Who has had their engine balanced and how much did it cost?

well...i got a great deal! $12,000 on Gran Turismo 3! HAHA...i dont think u need it or if u can even do it at that.

rufio?

Haha, love the gt3. It allows more revs so you can tune for high rpm power, the balancing doesnt add power but the ability to do 8500rpm will. I dont see why you couldnt, ohh also are the aftermarket pistons and rods balanced, if not than they should come pre balanced for the money I'm spending for them.

They are all balanced to within 1 gram of each other, if they are crower. Same for the JE pistons if i remember right... but all of them should come that way.

So they are balanced, thats cool. What about that crank they sell at extreme 420, is it balanced? If it is and I get it with the rods and pistons is my engine balanced or do I need to balance the flywheel too?

I think you are looking at it wrong. Balancing is something you worry about when doing a rebuild, but it is not 100% necessary. My engine is balanced, but I did it when I did my rebuild. It makes a difference, but not enough to break the bank. Dino is doing quite well without spending the extra effort on balancing.
