Who Has The Best Price 8" Balancers

[tango]

I am Looking for the best Deal on a . SB Chevy 8.00" internal balanced . Harmonic Balancer . I need it for a budget 327 L/J Build . The engine will go max 5800 to 6000 RPMs it's a street engine . I Do not need one of the 12'000 rpm ones . The best one I could find is this one from Competition Products It's a Pioneer part # HB358 the cost is $54.95 Is there any other place you know of to get a Deal on one . Are the Pioneer Balancers a good part . One guy told me he had to hone one out to install it ?

i have used the pioneers they work for oem to mild lower buck builds .i never had one that needed honing. have used the bbc sfi powerbond pioneers were they could or did need a hone not a big deal . i never had to do this on there stock dampers . ask comp they sell alot of them .there good i think they will let you know? but then they may say there could be a very small chance it needs a hone. any machine shop with a key way hone can hone it if needed

Professional Products offers a 8" Balancer. Might be able to get a lower price than from Star Perfomance.

Like someone said Pro products.
Yes,most all after-market balancers are "hone to fit".

How are the Renegade Brand racing parts ? I was checking on the Star performance site . And I did see this Renegade brand is USA made . And they make a lot of stuff . I can not find a Link to Renegade Racing components ? If some one knows it or has used there parts ? Let Me know . Thanks Tango

What about a GM Performance Parts balancer? I run one on a 355 I built 15 years ago that still runs pretty good. You can get one at a Chevy dealer that sells performance parts. I see you are from Chicago. Lattof Chevy in Arlington Heights is a performance parts dealer or you can go online to find another one. Jim Pace does a big online business.

I think a lot of their stuff is overseas made. The timing pointer may be USA made but a lot of their stuff doesn't say USA made. . .

I ordered a set of there 1.5 Stamped rockers ( Not in stock ) . And a L-82 Camshaft . The guy said he had the Cam . And no Catalogs at this time . I told him ship the cam when the rockers are in stock . It's 11deg out I can what for the parts . I will let you guys know how the parts look when I get them . COOL Star Performance

Did you order a balancer too? I may order a cam for my 305 if the lobes or valve train looks messed up. For lifters and cam, thats not a bad deal. RADICAL

I wanted the #70002 8" Star street damper for $36.99 . It's made out of Nodular Iron and safe to 6500 RPM . The add said Limited Quantities . They had none . They did have the OEM Replacement Type #6511 for $40.99 . Check out page #24 Star Performance I passed on it . I may go with the Pioneer Brand . But I did also need rockers And the Camshaft well I just had to
