Harmonic Balancer weight for street strip car?
Is a lightwieght balancer better for a car that will spend most of its time on the street?
My thinking is lighter recipricating mass = quicker rev, acceleration.
But then I see bracket car, running big heavy flexplates, more weight = momentum.

The bigger dampers always make more power. This is because they better dampen the crank bending and harmonics.
