Thanks a lot Martin. You play a big part of this build. I gotta hand it to you putting up with all my questions and debating between this and that for the past year. What can I say, thanks man. I can't wait for that new custom cam!

I'm looking to buy a harmonic balancer. ATI? Powerbond? Fluidamper? Which is best for my application. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. I may also be running a vacuum pump.

Pleas stay away fro Powerbond. Why go budget/cheap now. ATI or Fluidampener. If it was me, I'd go ATI.

Best wishes for a build alot of wish was our own !!!

I was just going thru the posts here in the forum and see what everyones running. These 3 manufacturers were mentioned often. So yes, it would have to be the best,--ATI w/ a gilmer pulley for a Moroso vacuum pump kit. On a second note, I'm waiting on the custom cam from Martin so I can start the assembly. Will post pics for your viewing pleasure,lol.

I will stick with a custom HR this time around. It has been done and proven for what I'm trying to accomplish. Besides, I can always switch to that in the future.
