Re: Has any one used a fluid dampner (hydfixer1)
Another vote for ATI here, mine's been great thus far both on the street and track. Engine winds up smooth as silk.
ATI balancers are what's used on the spec LS1 crate engines used by the ASA, good enough of a reference for me.
I also liked that they only underdrive the accessories by 10%, rather than 25% like the majority of the aftermarket pieces. -10% is enough for me.

Check Thunder Racing for prices -------------------------------->
You'll want a new crank bolt also.
As for how long, depends on how much trouble you have w/ tools. It took me ~45min, the majority of which was removing the old balancer.
I had access to the J-tool for installing the balancer which helped considerably. Big threaded rod, roller thrust bearing, and nut. Just slide the balancer onto the crank snout, install the tool, and pull the balancer into place using the nut and thrust bearing.

yes you have to pull the rack... thats not the worst of it if you have a power steering cooler thats the real pain. it doesn't come out easily, easy to bend/break lines
