Default Harmonic Balancers

I cant seem to find much information on which harmonic balancer would be best for my build. The one I currently have looks like this one http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PRO-66510/

My setup is like this
355ci sbc
forged bottom end
splayed main caps
large solid roller cam
aluminum heads
single plane intake
and soon to be a quick fuel 750 carb

It will see close to 7000 rpm. I will be driving it on the street most of the time. Which harmonic balancer do you have/recommend?

Don't waste your time with that balancer. If you want a good affordable balancer try a Powerbond #HB2022. It is a SFI 7" diameter and costs around $140 from Competition Products. I've used these a bunch and they are very nice for the money.

You get what you pay for. Don't use a Professional Products one. I had one come apart after a year. And it was on a 455 Pontiac that only spun 6500.

I agree with the others to go with any SFI approved balancer for your application.
