This is calculated through a coreolis effect calculation.
There's nothing you can do to change that.
Just a note that while this can't be changed only "countered" once the design is set, IIRC, it can be changed at the time of design.
The unbalance characteristics of any V (4,6,8,10,etc.) can be adjusted somewhat by the angle of the V (60 degrees, 90 degrees, etc.). I believe this deals with primary balance and not secondary but maybe I've got that reversed - too much drugs in my system right now.

Am I correct in that Stazi?
