Thinking about replacing my Balancer

[joshjwc9]

Alright, so my car is steadily approaching 140k miles and I'm still running the OEM balancer. And I've recently seen some threads about guys who had theirs come apart from old age. My balancer looks fine, but I'm really a kind of person to replace it now rather than later because I know my Vortech isn't exactly helping it out either. So I've seen some race ones, but I don't really need that kind of product yet. So, I've come across three that seem okay. The Trickflow SFI, Summit SFI and PP non SFI balancers. Of course I probably would get the ARP bolt kit instead of dealing with a TTY bolt again.

Has anybody ever ran any of these?

I have a vortech also and replaced mine with a PP SFI balancer that I bought on ebay for like 160.00 and I ran the same kind in my 94 stroker for 60k with zero issues, looks like a quality piece also IMO

Okay, is that one an OEM spec that is not overdriven or underdriven. I am looking for a race quality piece an that one is right in my price range.

Thanks,

Thanks for the inquiry!

One of our employees has a Professional Products Powerforce dampener his super-charged '95 GT with 500+whp and he loves it! It really smoothed out the "kick" the s/c causes on the stock rotating assembly in low RPM or wind-down of the motor after a pull.

His has been on the car since he started working here over 3 years ago and is still going strong and looking great!

You will be totally satisfied with the PP dampener!

Yes that is the correct stock sized dampner, it's only underdriven in the cobras since it's a different size but it's dimensionally identical to a stock 4.6 2v one (im supercharged and also needed a stock sized dampner)
