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.

 

ATI here

 

ATI on my build too.

 

I'm slow but I have the ATI !AC one.

 

Not a turbo but I have an ATI too...

 

Damn you guys. I guess ATI it is then.

 

I was kinda hoping someone would say that the ATI isn't a must as well, being I am in the exact same shoes as you. Got to be someone out there?

 

ATI here !A/C and spaced for motor plates and dry-sump if i ever want to use it....
If ya thought the base price was $$$ add some options LOL

Ya no kidding, second that. Damb it gets expensive when you are deciding on 'doing it right'

 

Is 917277 the part number I want w/o the A/C?

 

bob @ www.exoticperformanceplus.com has the part mnumbers and applications listed on his site there. He's a great guy to deal with too, id suggest buying thorough him.

Oh i have the ATI too, but i kept my AC! Not sure if i got the 10% underdrive or not though riht now. Bought it months ago and its still a pile of parts in my room!

 

Can you buy the ATI's keyed already or is that something you have to do yourself? And who sells them the cheapest?

 

just out of curiousity, how come you guys are using one of those balancers instead of stock or a underdrive....just out of curiousity

 

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.

 

The reason most use it because its rated to 10,000rpm and is SFI approved for cars needing an SFI unit to meet track saftey rules.......

ATIs have a key slot, but your crank most likely won't unless you spec'ed it out with an aftermarket. My callies crank has an integrated key.

 

alright makes sense. so unless your a hardcore racer, then a stock or say SLP one would be effeicent then?

 

My callies is double keyed.
