OK some people, I dont know why I've always ran a stock Balancer, but they say that light weight balancers have a tendancy to scatter under FAST Acceleration (N2O or other "Helpers") I dont know if theres truth behind it, thats just what some people have told me. I've also heard that a lighter balancer can loose its UMMPH under hard acceleration and cause the crank to do a little dance in the block. Like I said tho, I've always run stock so I'm running off what people have told me and some people have odd tendancys

If he isn't running an SFI balancer, he may end up modifying anything that gets in it's way when he grenades it.Originally posted by gofastdude

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
