When you have something blueprinted and balanced it means that the manuafactor or the engine has a set limit on tolerances in the engine. Lets say a stock factory piston can be 10 grams +/- the other pistons. When you blueprint and balance them you make the tolerences much less like maybe 1 gram +/-. Usually engines that are blueprinted and balanced run cooler with even temperatures, have lower egts, will have better gas mileage, and best of all make more torque and power.
