bottom end ballencing w/ itr pistons
I have read before that you can run itr pistons w/ a gsr crank and rods. The itr bottom end is heavier than the gsr bottom end so if you added itr pistons to the gsr bottom end wouldnt it throw the bottom end out of ballence?

Not sure of the source of your logic,but no. You will have no issues running this combo. This is the combo I will be running very shortly.

You will be fine using itr pistons with gsr rods. You can get the rods and pistons balanced together for more insurance, you should also do the crank. it dosent cost that much to get them all balanced.
Balancing pistons is just making sure there all the same exact weight. Balancing rods is the same except you also end balance them to make sure they are the same weight end to end.
Your Pistons should weigh around half the weight of your rods; and I believe that the ITR and GSR pistons aren't that different so I wouldn't worry!
