Which balancer are the big turbo guys using? Looking to see what the popular choice is for balancers. I'm sure the ATI will get alot of praise. I'd prefer to not drop that kind of money if possible. Are the TCI or Fluidampers any good? This will be going on a 408/S88 combo.

I know why I went with mine... Cuz i had to have it to run an 8-rib pulley.. hahaha..jk... I also wanted to run it because on my sbc I threw my stock one out of balance... It looked like a tire that wasn't balanced... Once you start throwing thousands of dollars why cheap out on a piece that it going to allow your engine to have better engine harmonics to a higher rpm and also be sfi approved... Mine does have a 10% underdrive too...

So far byunspeed is the cheapest I've found.
