Apparently you put this in QuickTime and I don't have that loaded on my laptop. Probably would have been better to have put it in the more common Windows Media which almost everyone has.

Will try again when I get home to my desktop where I have QT.

Does anyone know anything about this powerbond harmonic balancer ?

They say ut adds 12hp. I don't belive that, but maybe it is still a quality replacement over the stock one?

It's a 25% underdrive pulley...it doesn't really ADD horsepower it just "frees up" horspower

An underdrive pulley refers to a crankshaft or accessory pulley (a/c, alternator, power steering, water pump, etc.) designed to turn at a slower speed than stock. To Underdrive means to slow the rate of rotation in a system.

my damn harmonic balancer is shot , its wobbling pretty bad and now making an audible noise, sounds like a diesel engine rattle .

Ive had to pull the car off the road

Do I need to purchase anything else other then the balancer itself?

Do I need new bolts or gaskets or anything ?

Is Dorman 594-115 Engine Harmonic Balancer the oem stock replacement?

Do not get the stock one. The problem will repeat itself. I asked my Vette shop for a Powerbond and he recommended an ATI. Also you need a new bolt, gasket and belt. I just put a new A/C tension belt and pulley on last year so that does not need to be replaced.
