Default Harmonic Balance Question

So I came to the conclusion mine is spun. Is $300 balance much better than a stock one? What is the real difference??

whatever the difference is, its not nothing that matters. just make sure you get the right size. 50oz is what you need. but mine takes a 28oz. not sure about any others though.

I just ordered one for my 95 GT, It's made by FRP but is nothing special....probably not worth the money to buy an expensive one, unless it is a one piece and has no rubber ring!

You know when ppl have those conspiracy theories about manufacturers sabotaging their own parts so you have to take youre car back to the dealer after youre warrenty is up.........I think this proves it!!![sm=headbang.gif] Thats the biggest pos Ive ever seen.

Are you talking about the stock balancer?....they are very commen problems and only on 94-95, the older 5.0's have a one piece balancer...im assuming from your comment that your agreeing with me?

I went w/ the Professional Product balancer at 50resto.com. It was $79 w/ the spacer and it's a helluva lot better quality that OEM.
