SB balancer question
OK, i've separated this question out of the BB balancer thread because i am seriously interested in a serious answer....
when i changed to the IFS i had to change the 8" balancer that was on the LT1 to a smaller, BUT heavy, one because of interference with the crossmember. when i changed out to the ZZ4 i swapped it's 8" balancer to the same smaller one that was on the LT1.
with all this talk about balancer 'tuning', have i shot myself in the foot (not that there is much i can do about it except bandage the wound..)

When I need a balancer I call ATI. They make the best balancer on the market hands down. They are SFI rated and get installed on all of my Nova race SB engines and one is going on this weekend on my 496 BBC for the 66 I am finishing up the shorblock on now.
I simply wont use a factory balancer on anything I own. But then again I don't just cruise in my cars they get used to the fullest and see track time. Sorry NCRS people if you don't like it don't look at my balancer.
