Default Choosing A Harmonic Balancer!?!

As im rebuilding my 289 i noticed that the Harmonic Balancer is worn out and i need a new one.
There is two; a stock harmonic balancer and a Harmonic Balancer Romac.
Which is better for the engine i have build so far!?!

whatever you want obviously theres a big price difference but putting money out there for something that might work longer is always worth it unless ur gonna restore and sell....which i couldnt imagine doing

<---- would spend a few extra $ and buy the streetdampner because there is no rubber outer rind to go bad like stock jmho spend a little more and save in the long run if you plan on keeping her

I bought a "Powerforce" brand when i needed to replace mine. It was about $109 from Lopers Performance. they do have a mail order portion of the business. it is based in Phoenix,AZ.
the manufacturer also has a website. www.professional-products.com

it was a nice product and came with timing marks for 3 different small block fords.

I have a powerforce as well, and I'm fairly happy with it. It would work great for your application.
