stock ones will break apart you do not want to be around when it happens. this happens with a stock iron one that someone beat to helll with a hammer or the ring comes off . i have seen fluid damper crack thru the key ways and seen them with the end of the crank nose still in the hub

The inertia ring goes bad with age.
It was very come even 25 years ago for them to fly apart on a hi-revving sbc.
Oh,it was a Fluidampner.
If you call tech. at their company they will even admit their balancer's have a service life.

oh they do :) they use to say they did. but better and cheaper ones have come out now .i did use them were just a good stock one would work maybe? but not sfi and needed to be . but the 454 stock ones were hard to find not all beat to hell with a hammer or rubber was comming out from the ring so i did use them but the ati is better

well maybe i jsut have a little more faith in some parts then others i guess, :LOL: never broken a stock rod , never had a crank snap, never broken a rod bolt,. maybe i need to build a 350 so i can learn these things? :LOL: i had to guys c'mon! :LOL:

gasser, i can tell you how to brake things so you have some!!! just forget to put in the nos jets in a 500hp plate and let'er rip lol. it makes a helluva mess on the track.. o ya the track guys get pissed!!!!!!!!!

ouch in the words of peter griffin on family guy,

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO,,,AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA,,,,,,OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,,,,,AAAAAAAAAAAAA :LOL:

it was a customers car i was shaking down for the first time... it cost me about ten grand and one helper to fix it...

I would use Callies the Dragon Slayer Crank and Howard rods.

racecar, the callies crank is alittle over kill for a 450hp budget engine..
