2002 C5 Z06 Harmonic Balancer Question
Hi All,
I’m still in the process of chipping away at some of the well known issues many C5Z’s have had based on most of what I’ve read on this forum. I started gathering the parts I will need to replace the stock harmonic balancer. I’m deciding on what brand of HB I want to go with and I’m stuck between 2 brands, ATI and Fluidamper.
My question to the forum is, does anyone have any experience with using Fluidamper? I do know that it’s a high end/quality piece but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it mentioned.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated 🏁
Erik

I just installed a Summit brand balancer on mine. Its very nice quality and less than half the cost of the ATI. It is also SFI certified. I installed the 25% underdrive version but they have a factory size as well.
