Sorry---but I'm a definate believer in a perfectly balanced life---start every day with 2 cups of coffee, one while I check emails and this forum, then second one with breakfast, etc-------------

I originally thought I didn't need a balancer here in Illinois because there were some shops in the area that did balancing( when racing top fuel/funny cars on west coast, Edelbrock balanced our stuff), but when I was doing a friends bbc out to a 481, the guy insisted on a 454 dampner and flywheel before he would start on it--I was out of town on a flight (real job!) and my friend(who had an auto parts business) sent him over the stuff-----when I got back---the job was done, the counter weights were full of holes like swiss cheese----------Hello Stewart Warner, send the salesman by!!!!!!!!!!!!
