I want to buy a good one and forget about it, so I was thinking either an ATI or a Fluiddamper. What do you guys run, think?

I have a Romac. It's SFI approved and was about $250 and is very good quality.

I wouldnt get either one. The ATI is a great piece, but theres no need to spend all the extra money for your aplication. If you were building an all out race car, id get the ATI.

Id go with either the powerbond or romac unit. Both ar well proven balancers and you won't have to worry about getting a new one anytime soon.

The crank would need to be balanced for the 28oz weight.
