Default Harmonic Damper

After much thought and deliberation, and with the reputation that corvettes have with Harmonic Balancers, i decided to remove and replace the HB on my C5 Vette with just 58k miles on the odometer. i had the PowerBond P/N PB1117SS Racing unit installed. Out the door it was $1044 from GP Automotive in south Everett, Wash. We will be leaving in a few weeks for a trip to Kansas, to Ariz, then return. After getting that job done, the feeling is worth it. It ran great on the way home.

Good Call !! I've used the exact same one on a friends' 2002 with only 40K on it
It really feels like a quality piece

What symptoms with the old hb where you feeling? Does the motor feel more balanced now? Less vibrations? Curious.
