Default Harmonic balancer for my 396 SB

I need it Neutral.
I want it SFI approved
i want it 6- 3/4 diameter or slightly smaller.. Not more than 6-3/4"
I'd like it cheap.
I maybe found it at Summit:
part SUM-C4265
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...part=SUM-C4265
My only concern is that is called "Race" and there is not weight specifications letting me know if it's a lightweight unit.
I would avoid too light balancer.. with my long stroke/hi torque engine..
Suggestion? Someone using it?
Thanks

Beppe,
I like the balancer. I believe it is the same one sami used. It does not look lightweight. Lightweight is usually quite small and easy to see in the photo.
Most of the time, sfi and race are used together when advertising. I may buy one for my next project myself....

I replied to the other post. Both the flexplate manufacturers and torque converter manufacturers often both use dual bolt patterns to avoid the need to stock many different ones. Why the advertise them the way they do is a nystery. It adds confusion.
No doubt that you need the correct part the first time. Returns across the big pond are probably very expensive.

I presume the motor and trans are floating toward you as we type
