Question Aftermarket harmonic balancers

Are after market harmonic balancers worth the 300 dollars that you put into them. I know they help with vibrations but what level of horse power makes these things worth while. Thanks for the help

Well a lot of people think so. I beleive it's more rpm then hp though. And of course it eliminates the two piece construction of the stock design.

Re: Aftermarket harmonic balancers

One advantage is in the "SFI" rating..... required by NHRA, etc. for running under 11.00

The use of a crank key is a plus, and for engines spinning over 7,000rpm there is an advantage in reduced torsional vibration.

Keep in mind, its a "damper" not a balancer.
