Why do you need an SFI spec balancer? I'm just curious, I used a $60 summit non-SFI one...

Read through this thread. It is not long and pay attention to what the crank manufacturors say. By the way the posters are among the top engine builders in the business.

That's what I've got on the Camaro. I don't go above 6000 RPMs.

I've got their SFI damper on the 396.

(Better hurry, the auction is about to end!!!)
