I have been told by more than one shop that the fluid filled ones aren't as good for hi-rpm motors. My ATI was not cheap by any means, but, from what I have been told, it is one of the best balancers you can buy. IP: Logged

I'd recommend sticking with an aftermarket elastometer style damper. Fisher, ATI, Romac are just some of the names that come to mind when looking at elastometer designs. ------------------ Ted E. Fe's are plenty fast, but "Y"'s are fun when they run in the nines. IP: Logged
