    I want to buy a aftermarket harmonic balancer for my 455. What is a good balancer to buy and where would I purchase one from? My motor is externally balanced, so would I have to get my new balancer match balanced?:Do No: This is a drag only car, so pulley alignment is not an issue!!:3gears:
    Any info would be a great help,

    I just got my Romac from Earick racing and it looks nice.

    I am building a new engine and will balance it. I swapped one a while back and I had it matched balanced.

    Check out TA or Poston as well as Tri Shield Performance, Automotive Machine and Performance, etc.

    I think that Romac was one of the cheaper ones.

    Thanks for the help guys.:TU: I called TA and they answered a few more questions that I had and while I was on the phone with them I went ahead and ordered one.
    Thanks once again for the advice,

    Like Allan said, i bought a BHJ from Earick Racing & sent him my OEM one so it could be balanced, everything seems ok with the switch. Randy
