Here's the info,

1990 GT, afr heads, mild comp cam, cobra intake, Street car with occasional strip time, possible procharger next year. Car will probably never go past 6000 rpm.

The q's

I see alot of guys run romac balancers, ATI popular also, what about fluidamper?
Or the TCI rattler?
My stock balancer has cracks in the rubber and i want to replace it, and i'd rather end up with overkill then have something not good enough later. Will any of the above be fine? I'd like to hear some feedback as to what guys are running and what they think. Gonna be ordering this week. Thanks!

P.S. Already did a search and came up with old threads with mostly traditional balancers and cheaper versions listed. Not trying to beat a dead horse, just get a good answer. Thanks guys. Also, where are you guys buying your balancers? I have seen prices quoted for all of them cheaper than i can find them online

Professional products SFI balancer here. Runs good. Rusts a little. Make sure you throw some clear coat over it. There really isn't a performance difference over others. Just brand names and SFI legal parts. Fluidampr makes good ones. Never used a TCI though.

Got my Romac balancer from Ed Curtis. Seems to be perfect for my mild 331.

Buy a balancer that is suited to your needs. The extra cash that the race ones usually buys you a RPM limit around 8,000. If your car doesn't run that high, you don't need one. A good aftermarket one will suit your needs just fine, but try not to spend too much on it.
